Hard to say. First quarter is over... I think things are looking up from a month ago when I had the SST meeting with my son. DS's grades are slowly improving and he is not failing Chemistry. But Chemistry is a class he should have Aced, so "not failing" isn't really good enough.(The material isn't hard this is a executive function problem.) He has already done enough damage to keep him out of AP Chemistry next year. Math/Pre-Calculus is going well this year, good teacher and he likes the subject. It's one of his favorite classes.
We have only had one true meltdown (so anxious he can't finish homework) so far this year about an English informal essay. It's too early to see much help from the writing tutor but I think we made a good choice, my son is connecting with her and she seems knowledgeable. DS is very bored in English as they are taking forever to get through a few chapters of the Crucible.
Marching Band season finished last Saturday so he will have a LOT more time on his hands. This will make life less stressful but it's also a bit of a emotional letdown and in someways it was good to see him so engaged with other students. Socially he is making big strides, hard to believe it's the same kid that wouldn't take to any of the other kids back in 7th grade.
