Ask the school if they need a prematurely embittered history teacher who won't quite accept that the British Empire has ended and an accent that no one will understand
The one thing I will say Mark. Don't fall into the trap of looking at your kid at the age he is and saying "he's going to be like this" or "he won't be like that" because you never know exactly what they'll grow in to be and though I'm sure you wouldn't, I've come across plenty of parents who have pushed their kids in some very wrong directions throughout their academic and social life just because of the expectations they created about these kids early on.
If I had a quid for every parent I heard tell me that their kid was going to do maths or physics or whatever at uni (when the kid was obviously not going to succeed) I wouldn't be posting via saudi carrier pigeon just now
I'm pretty aware of that whole trip as the child of a depression era kid and the only sibling who decided that my Dad's vision of secure mediocrity wasn't for me.
Turns out my siblings didn't get "secure mediocrity" and I didn't end up a rich rock star
