Well good luck and I hope you can find something that will work without his needed to drop the CAD class.
We are not yet done with first semester, DS16 has finals next week. I wish two of my son's teachers could be changed but that won't happen. His Chemistry teacher has driving me nuts all semester because she is one of those teachers who never updates grades. And the history class/teacher really isn't working out very well based on his grade. He has an unusual teacher style it doesn't help the class is at 7am (zero period), I really wish he could be moved to 6th period since marching band is over. BUT since my DS didn't pass the CA physical fitness test last year (we think it was recorded wrong but it's a state tests and not easy to fight) he MUST take a PE class this spring despite only needing two years of PE. (This is a loophole that allows schools to only require 2 years of math.. if you can't prove to the state you are fit you must keep taking PE.) It's one of things that wouldn't bother me, except for the 7am history class. He could be moved to PE at 7 but doesn't want to because he in a PE class with other band kids.
The weekend is an exercise in getting him to study. Since he "tests" well he doesn't have a lot of experience with this kind of studying. Because the finals are only 10-15% of the grade, they won't make much of a difference to his grade in most of his classes.
