[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How well he did academically (much better than in high school) and how much he has matured. He has major executive functioning problems and not only held it together, but excelled. I am also very happy to see how he is thriving generally. [/quote] First year used to be a weed-out year, now it's a joke. Advisors make kids take really light loads, and colleges water down first-year courses so they can inflate their retention numbers and keep kids on campus. Get confident after your DC aces sophomore year courses.[/quote] You are a jerk.[/quote] I speak from experience. Many colleagues have boasted about their kid's first year grades, 18 months later Jr is home on the couch![/quote]
