I actually asked him this morning, after he had calmed down a bit, if someone had talked to him about testing. He said his teacher had lectured the class about how hard third grade was, and how the world will apparently come to an end if they don't pass their EOG's. I've seen the third grade EOG's, and I honestly think he could do well on them NOW, and he has another year of school before he actually has to take them!
He woke up this morning and seemed to feel better about the whole thing. He was excited about finishing school again, and drooling over some of the college textbooks on my shelf (The kid thinks he is ready for Calculus, but not for third grade math!). It seems like this happens maybe a couple of times a month - he finds something to worry about, has an absolute meltdown, and feels better about it the next day. I wonder if he is having panic attacks?
