Oh boy.

How long has he been with EDM?

My concern with kids who have been with EDM/EVM for any length of time is that they wind up with peculiar gaps in the foundation because of the unbelievably unsound pedagogy in some of the early grades.

I'd say that you'll want him to be aware that if he's struggling with something, he needs to ASK you-- because it's entirely possible that it's something he's been taught incorrectly by EDM that is causing the problem.

Enjoy your newfound freedom, btw! laugh
