Hello all,
I'm starting my GCSE subjects soon and have already put in my choices. However, I've been thinking about it and am seriously considering switching history to RS. I've always really enjoyed RS, including the religious parts of it (which many people dislike even though they take the subject as a GCSE), and think I will really miss it when I stop. Moreover, I have never really enjoyed history as a subject and honestly find it pretty boring.
In the end I put history as my choice because I felt that the GCSE course would be more interesting than what I have been learning so far, and my parents really want me to do history and think RS is a bad subject. I think this is because history is commonly viewed as more of a prestigious (and harder) subject.
Please help!
