Thank you guys so much! We have such a hard time with him because he scores so high on placement exams and tests but then does the bare minimum and has an attitude about it. Some say he needs to be "pushed" and he'll accelerate and enjoy it and some say he can't do it because of his current "attitude" about learning. Yet this is the same kid who reads car manuals and engineering books for fun but couldn't finish a chapter of "Where The Red Fern Grows" thus resulting in a C in literary arts. It's so frustrating. He's our oldest and started Kindergarten at 4 so he's the youngest in his class which doesn't help either. He's writing a book currently about World War II aircraft and he's a walking encyclopedia of random knowledge so we know he has the ability to really go far but he just doesn't want to. He even said he wanted to join the Navy so he could build fighter jets and aircraft carriers but would refuse college. So frustrating!
