[quote=Anonymous]Many thanks to all. This is a great list. His math grade this year is, so far, an A, but I don't know if it will stay there. He has anxiety issues and does not test well, and his grades often do not reflect his understanding. He hasn't taken physics, but can discuss advanced physics principles in which he has an interest at a high level with my PhD brother; but it won't surprise me if he gets a B in the class. (In case I'm accused of bias, his brother tests really well, and I think his test scores often overestimate his understanding of underlying concepts.) He's also the kid who will do enough to get by in stuff he's not interested in, and go really, really deep into what he's passionate about. There just aren't a lot of high school courses on the stuff he's passionate about. (And for the person who asked, he would like both to design AND build the machine tool--although he's not that interested in coding the computer that will run it.) [/quote]
