[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boy, 12 yo and in seventh grade, got Bs and Cs on his first advisory. It does not seem good at all, but I’m trying to understand the extent of the problem relative to other students. He’s smart, has a lot of common sense, is happy, and a good group of friends. But he doesn’t particularly work hard and is quiet, which surely doesn’t help. He’s in eighth grade math, so there’s that, fwiw. He maybe spends 10-20 minutes a night on homework, and often misses assignments. I have the feeling that his grades will more or less stay the same without drastic intervention. I’ll find out more when I attend the parent-teacher conferences but am wondering what folks think of this performance. Something to worry about? If so, what to do? Do parents work with their kids nightly? [/quote]

Here's how I'd handle it:

- check Aspen regularly
- communicate with his teachers and his team in general about what he can do differently - the Deal faculty is great as far as working with you
- stop posting this on DCUM.  You are just going to get people who will rip on Deal.[/quote]
