A lot of good things to think about here. I suppose he has worked hard at some things, now that I think about it. He has been working feverishly at his science fair project over the past couple of weeks. He's worked hard at taekwondo. So I suppose it's just study skills that he is lacking. I've been trying to help him learn that, but so far it's not working. Still, with all of the stories about people who have had the same experience, I wonder if perhaps he just needs some more time.
