[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pushed my kid like this to try honors classes in 9th and it was a mistake. The transition to high school is tough enough for a kid with EF challenges and slow processing. Give him a year to get his feet under him and THEN think about honors. [/quote] Thanks for sharing this experience - I am definitely paying attention here!. I'm wondering, what was the outcome of the mistake? Bad grades? Having to drop classes or drop back to regular classes? Mental health or self esteem issues? Giving up on school and having school refusal? Genuinely curious and not trying to poke at stuff. I guess I am wondering if some not-great grades for freshman year might be better than hating school and refusing to go (which is what I worry about with the regular classes). [/quote]
