DS16 still has 3 weeks of school. But things are looking a lot better than last year. As long as he doesn't bomb his finals his grades look a lot better. He seems to be in a lot better head space and has grown and matured a lot over the past year. He seems to be getting a better grip on the essay writing issue. It still comes up.. but he's been able to get over the hump.
His summer involves a month away a wilderness camp. Then he has two weeks of marching band camp. Throw in so some PSAT prep and hopefully AP summer homework and he will have a somewhat busy August.
DS's classes for next year aren't 100% set. He has been moved up to the next higher Band. But we still don't know about the AP classes he has requested. Math teacher has told him she won't sign off on AP BC Calc (vs AB) unless he ends up with a solid A. His grade is just on the border between at A-/A right now. And if she allows it he must do summer homework. We won't know till after his final. And the news hasn't come back about his AP Biology request, Chemistry teacher was OK but wanted to check with last years Bio teacher. Still we have kept junior year relatively low key (two AP's, two music classes, English & Spanish) in the hopes that he can keep his grades high and his anxiety in check.
