    Yippee!

    DH and I just came back from DS12's first 8th Grade Conferece at his new school, and it's the most positive since 1st grade (not counting angel teacher in 3rd grade)
    They get that his mind works fast and deep.
    They get that he always wants to talk in class.
    They get that they have to be firm with him.

    And he is on Track for all Honors Level Classes next year in 9th!

    Is he going to be Mature enough to do all the work needed in LA and History, paper writing, etc? Who knows!

    Big Smiles,
    Grinity

    That is great news. All that worry, but it looks like the move was the right decision. Glad to hear it!

    Wow! Grinity! That is wonderful! Congratulations to your DS! I hope he is proud of his accomplishments, and gives himself a well-deserved pat on the back! <or an extra large pizza... or whatever 12 year old boys are into these days?>

    Can I ask if you and your DH reward your DS for academic accomplishments? We have been pondering that question with our own DS8 and would love advice?
