:O Ok I am supporting him! He is in 8th grade, going to be a freshman this Aug. I guess he doesn't understand that HS is alot harder. The school tells the kids to aim high and starts them all set out for the scholars Diploma. Thats setting them up for failure and is going to dis-courage some beyond belief. Did they ask us before they set him up for this? No!! Did they look at his report card before this? No! He has 4 Fs right now and these counselors have talked all the new coming students into reaching to aquire the highest possibilities. This semester has been horrible for him! First semester was ok but WOW!! WTF. I tried to explain to him that he complains about how he is struggling now and shooting for scholars is going to be VERY difficult for him and he is going to have a ton of hw and very hard college classes. Hes seems to think he can handle this. I know he can't!! How can I help enroll him if I am in total disagreance with the classes he is going to be taking? I am not going to shoot him down or tell him to drop back, or that I know he is not capable of this, but a couple months after HS starts he will have to do this himself and be totally uncomfortable with school! Ahhhhhhhhhhh.......Im pretty frustrated with this now!!
