[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, 19:18 way to spend so much time typing out that nonsense.  All I did with the ten or so suggestions for DS was email them to him, mention I emailed them to him and then we all just talked over pros and cons of some of them over dinner.  Not sure what he wound up deciding on and what the thesis will be.  It was due today, so clearly I didn't do the work for him.   Thanks for over reacting bitches.   [/quote]

Actually I think 19:18 was trying to be constructive, and you are the one over-reacting.

A high school senior should be capable of doing that entire assignment from start to finish without help.  If he needs support, then you should do it in a way that helps develop his capabilities not by being his research intern.  [/quote]
Here's an idea.  When you have a 17 year, how about you provide the level of support that you feel necessary at the time?  Do you have any book recommendations?  [/quote]

Actually I already gave my suggestion, but you know when I have a 17 year old you can be sure that whatever support I provide won't take the form of me logging onto DCUM to ask people for help with my kid's homework.

Also I don't really get how this is a "critical" semester for grades-- seems to me for most kids it's about the least critical semester in high school.[/quote]
