[quote=Anonymous]OP-- my kid has simultaneously loved being there and struggled at times as a freshman. The adjustment (commute, academic rigor, sheer amount of work, etc) was pretty brutal, but got much better after the 1st quarter. There have been days I've though he should quit, and I have certainly told him he can. But he will not consider it. Some advice: they tell you to expect curvy grades (Bs and Cs) on report cards. So expect them, and help your kid be okay with not making straight As. Realize that grades go up as kids adjust. My kid made B- in Bio first quarter with several failed quizzes. Solid A this quarter, and should have no problem making an A- for the year. And find some sane parents you can talk to. Don't let yourself get pulled into comparing your kid with everyone else.
