[quote=Anonymous][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] I can tell you are pretty pleased with the school.  Im sure we will chat as the year unfolds.  How do you like the Ryken program?  Do you feel that it has addressed his needs?
