Thanks Sharry, Zoe and Simon

I spoke with the year level coordinator at Distant Ed today and she recommends that my son just do maths and english for this term and then if all goes well he can do all subjects next term. Another relief!

We are to go in on Monday for an 'adaptive' computer test in English and maths that will help them know where he is at. He will also meet his English and maths tutors. He will then start a specially tailored maths and English course.

She said that enrolments have jumped from 2500 last year to 4000 this year, and most of those enrolled have mental health or social issues. Just what is happening to our young people?

Will let you know how we progress.
And Simon, I will look into the sites you mention. My maths help seems to have stopped at about year 9 level despite having done maths into year 11. I have forgotten it all!
Take care and hope things are ok for everyone
