That's what you focus on.[/quote]

That my son is more competent than his host who is a year older and actually attends the school? [/quote]
It’s one kid. He could also have been paired with someone he just didn’t click with.

The shadow day is useful to try to get a feel for the school and for students to determine if they can see themselves attending. The exact interactions with the specific buddy should be taken with a grain of salt. Positive or negative, that is one student and not even one who will be in their grade. Encourage your son to try to think big picture. What did he think of the teachers, the flow of the school day, the vibe of students at lunch or during passing time or free periods, etc. Did students seem interested, engaged in class? Or were they slumped in seats or surreptitiously playing games or browsing social media on their computers?

Try not to let that one piece of the day color everything. [/quote]
