[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I would put him in the most challenging classes. The truth is he’s unlikely to change in a year and if you wait until next year, he’ll be getting A- and Bs in the regular schedule, instead of the most challenging classes. The other thing I would do is spring for an organizational tutor. Have them meet with your kid at least once before classes start to set up folders and notebooks and, if possible, once a week to help them stay on top of their work. If you give permission, they could even contact teachers. Their job would be to help your kid stay organized and, if needed, show them how to study and adjust studying needs for high school level where there are usually more textbooks and the kids need to memorize more and write under increased time pressure. - mother of three add kids who eventually went to top colleges [/quote]
