We're slowly, but surely, getting DS9 to the point where he is getting a challenge at school. He still has a lot of meaningless, stupid work that he has to do, but he also has some more challenging work. That's a huge step. Problem is, he has never learned how to study, and still expects everything to be easy for him. (I should be the bigger person and refrain from pointing out that I've told his teachers since preschool that this was going to happen....but I'm not that mature.) Anyway, he is doing well, but now he is used to getting fantastic grades. So if he gets a "B", he wants to bring it up to an "A". Good for him, a B is good, but I think it's good to always try to improve. Here's the problem - he genuinely doesn't know HOW to try. He's never had to. So for him, if he doesn't completely get it within a few minutes, it's a lost cause. Any tips on how to get him to focus and study the material? I don't think it would take that much, if he could just concentrate on it for a bit.
