[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he upset with his math grade? Does he think screentime equals fun time and he just doesn't think bad grades are important? He needs to understand that in high school, every quarter grade counts. [/quote] He's starting to understand this. He's in a gifted math class and likes math and expresses that he doesn't like getting bad grades and knows bad grades, well, aren't a good thing. We've talked about him taking Algebra 1 next year (the only time his teacher really spoke with me was earlier this year when she said his test scores indicate he'd do well in Algebra) but I question whether he has not only the maturity to keep up with the work but support to complete it (getting more time to finish assignments or just less screen time if it's too distracting for a 12 year old. I mean, he's 12, and like a lot of these kids it's great to see them finally master looking both ways). [/quote]
