Often times the name brand secondary high schools do not recommend the student to sit a particular subject, if they do not have an acceptable grade ( whatever that is). This is done not in the interest of the child, but of course to protect the IMAGE of the schools.
On the other hand you do have parents who decide that their child will not take an exam, eventhough they are recommended by the teacher.
As a tutor and a mother I do understand both sides. However, the child must have an input.
I was not recommended for Spanish CSEC exams (in my time it was CXC, I'm not that old) while attending high school. However, my mother allowed me to take it privately and of course I was successful.
We have to look at the learner.Some are motivated by the challenge,some just need the extra help from a tutor, while some just have no interest in that particular subject.
