I know we've talked about difficult sibling issues, but I thought I'd ask for advice again.
DS11 will be an 8th grader at small charter school. He took Alg 1 this year and they don't offer Alg 2, but are planning to offer a statistics course for mathy kids (since statistics won't conflict/duplicate anything they'll do in High School). DS9 will be a 6th grader next year at the school and placed out of Alg 1, so he'd be in the same statistics class.
DS11 burst into tears yesterday saying he was afraid his little brother would get better grades in the class and he would be teased by all his friends (DS11 is very sensitive). Now I don't know what to do--I wish there were more options at the school so they didn't have to be together. I probably should figure out two different online courses they could work on (preferably at school, but I don't see the school venturing into that yet). I hate seeing my sweet DS11 so upset.
