gcse ..english

Hotel california

My son is rather upset because one of the questions in his gcse English paper requires him to write as if he is someone else.  The exact question varies year on year, but usually starts with "imagine ......"

He has told me he cannot do these kinds of question as he struggles with seeing things from another perspective.

The question carries 20% of the marks, so a lot to lose.

Does anyone know if asc children can do a different type of question instead, as it seems unfair to me to expect him to do something he cannot.

  • I think they should definitely make reasonable adustments so that there is a level-playing field. Perhaps the same task should be set but with the question worded differently, avoiding the use of the word imagine? You could run through different imaginary possibilities with your son before the exams so that he is as prepared as possible.
