[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the one that said not to stress about it too much. We are on the same page.  I would really like for him to accept the fact that sports should be a hobby for him.  We are getting there.  I think he'll be fine once he learns that he can have fun in other activities like government, debate and etc.

Now here is an issue that I just thought about.  My son had a diagnosis of ADHD in like 2nd through 5th grade.  I would say that it is in remission in my opinion. His teachers from 5th -8th said they know nothing of it.  Actually I never could get any teacher or school system to take this seriously because he is extremely intelligent.  He can totally slay a standardized test however, he is still very disorganized.  I emailed the Ryken coordinator about getting an extra set of books at home for him just in case he gets overwhelmed with changing classes and bringing things home.  Know what I mean?  I did not apply for Ryken because we really don't have grounds for it but I was wondering if the slight accommodation would be addressed.  I have not gotten a response from the Ryken coordinator. Now, my son says "mom don't worry about it, I will take care of myself".  I just want all barriers for his getting the St.MSchol to be removed.  More importantly I would like to know that this woman read my email.  I sent it a week ago no response.  Also, I read in one of the newspapers that you need a doctor's recommendation for any accommodations.  My husband says no!  He doesn't need anything but to be better organized.  My point is that he's got one shot at St.MSchol and I just want him to make it because he can do the work no doubt but if he gets a 3.9 instead of a 4.0gpa then all is lost with that.  If he starts frgetting books at school if will quickly bring his average down. That is the food for today.[/quote]

You should call because a lot the teachers/administrators are still on summer break.  She may not have gotten the email.  My son is in the Ryken program and she is normally very responsive. [/quote]
