[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PP with the kid with text anxiety...how did you handle that? Is there is an underlying issue with my son this is what I suspect. It is then compounded by lack of preparation. He is very resistant to talking with someone...I have already suggested that.

Oh and grades are still OK bc most tests are C's (but these were tests he SHOULD have had A's on. Not hard and not a lot to study) which brings A's down and the last test was a pretty low F. But he had a 98 in that class prior so there was some wiggle room.[/quote]

It's interesting, public schools have moved to the tests being most of the grade and As on homework not being able to save grades.  Who knew private schools were this cushy.  Your kid should not be able to get As and Bs in class if getting Cs to Fs on tests.[/quote]

It isn't. She's in denial. That "98" was from the first weeks of class, non-assignment throat clearing work. The kid has a world of C tests coming at him and he will likely have a D before she knows it.[/quote]
