I am not sure how to respond to this. First, I was 13 as a freshman in HS and I was totally responsible in doing my work and actually skipped a grade during HS because the work was easy.
Is he going through any emotional crisis that distracts him?
But I agree with the teacher. He should be able to handle this without help. He is not far from college and you will not be there to quiz him when it gets even tougher.
He does 99% of his work on his own. I have only been quizzing him on this because he was struggling with these test. As it was the first time he has had problems on tests, I figured he could use some direction on how to study. Learning how to study, particularly when you have never really "needed" to isn't always obvious.
I guess I am mostly looking for some moral support here. I know I can't do things for him at this stage. And he will just have to give the non-honors classes a try.
