saying because his English was always good, because he read a lot of books, he could write very good, even when he was little, you know.

But his English now gets weaker compared to the others. Now he's saying, if I could find a way to get further math and drop English.

But we said it's not going to be a good idea.

Has he dropped English at the fair level?

Yeah.

You see, Holly did that part way through, which is probably about now, and she has to do it for a year.

Because she hated maths.

That's different for him now, she wants to take maths because she enjoys maths.

But she changed her subject part way through a year, and she had to do another year at A-levels.

I mean, it might not be now, she might have got time, but I'm sure Holly was...

But still they don't know, and even again for that it's going to put him under extra pressure.

Because there is a sixth subject or something that he needs to take in summer.

Even if they take exam, A-level exam for normal math, and if their teacher said, okay, yeah, you can do.

But even that, then he needs to take that sixth subject or whatever in summer, and then carry on.

So it's a risk.

So then you're not getting much of it, even if math and English and economy, that's good.

Yeah.

Because if he was going, I don't know, something like a pure math or something...

And I can imagine that if he put his mind to it, his English could come up to back to standard again now.

And further maths, and maths is hard at A-level anyway.

Further maths is going to be absolutely crazy.

I think he just got a bit excited about math.

Now he gets, like this exam he changed results, like he said from 50 he got 49.

Something like that.

And just now he's thinking, oh, maybe he can do further in math.

But maths is like, it's such a hard subject to take at A-level.

Yeah.

And it's very time consuming.

Yeah.

And I think putting himself under that pressure is going to be a little too much.

Yeah.

And you want to go into summer and then another year with pressure.

And I think if you have a good result of math itself, and English, even if you don't

get A, A-plus, even if you get B and good economy, still you could get a good place.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

But if you do like further math and then we can, the other subject, that's...

And now does he not know that he's not going to struggle at further maths as well?

Exactly.

Like, yeah.

It's time consuming.

It is very time consuming.

That's the thing.

I mean, just the...

Apologies.

Yeah, just confused himself.

He did it.

She did further.

She did A-level maths.

And she...

But she's just like...

Mum, it's just firing the brain.

And I'm not enjoying it.

Yeah, that's the thing.

So I was like, so what's the point?

Don't do it.

Math is something you should enjoy.

If you don't enjoy it, you don't...

Yeah.

And I think, yeah, because everything else came naturally to Holly.

And then maths, she has to think about it, so she didn't like it.

So...

Well, yeah.

And we know he can be good at it, English, because his foundation, it's very good.

Yeah.

And just maybe he's not enjoying it anymore.

Maybe...

Maybe because he didn't get a result on the maths as he's supposed to, he expected.

English, anybody, like, if you put your mind to it, you can do it, can't you?

Yeah.

And like you said, it's...

It's good for you as well.

It's a good thing, even if he just says he's helping you.

Yeah.

I remember Holly at this age, A-levels and GCSE years, it's such a stressful time for

the...

And I think...

For those who care, it's very stressful.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

It is.

Yeah.

She was...

She was really bad.

I just have to remind her, like, yeah, you can only try your best.

Yeah.

And you've got to look after yourself, and you've got to have your own time, and stuff

like this, and...

Like, even, like, you said he stopped exercising, but that's probably good for him...

Yeah.

...while he's doing his A-levels.

Yeah.

Exactly.

It's awful, like, to see him like that.

And it's a bit difficult for them to keep balance, you know?

Yeah.

To just, okay, go gym, but twice a day only.

Yeah.

Don't take it five a day, five a week.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just go one time climbing, one time gym, one time going down with your friend.

Yeah.

Enjoy time and the rest.

Sorry, but I think it's difficult to keep the balance.

Either they should just stick on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.
