I think one problem is his low grade/struggle with math this year, and that has previously been something he thinks he does well in. Another issue is he goes to school with a group of very high achievers. And when he compares himself to them he does fall short. One comment he made was that most of the kids who are doing well in his math class, took a prep class in the summer.
He does do Aikdo outside of school but his dojo is mostly adults. And he has music lessons. I am trying to push him to join some school clubs. Within the high school is really the best place to find extra activities for this age during the school year.
I don't want to have him to do much outside of school. He is an introvert and needs his down time, and homework takes up a lot of his "free" time.
