A little while ago, Philippa (the only true Domestic Goddess) were discussing the daunting prospect of choosing a secondary school for our offspring (I know they are only 6 but neurotic mums like me live by "why woory tomorrow about something which can give you a sleepless night today). Anyway, because Philippa is far less neurotic than I am (she is a Goddess after all !) she reassured me that failure is not really an option for our children and that the odds are pretty much stacked in their favour. Well today I have discovered that being average is not an option either. Apparently it is disappointing that the love of my life only has a spelling age of six and a half since he did so well in reading, vocabulary and maths. I was too stunned to point out that he IS six and a half so the result should not be totally unexpected. talk about high expectations.
