DS17 is having a mostly good but stressful/busy senior year. He is in the middle of collage apps. Marching Band season just ended. Finishing college apps has been very stressful.
AP Comp Sci is going great, honestly getting A+ in that class. It's the same teacher he took H. Geometry in 8th grade from that he loved. Decided he wants to major in CS in college.
He told me in the fall that HE would talk with his English teacher and work something out with her about his essay writing. And he did. His teacher was asking all the kids to journal for the first 10 minutes every period. This doesn't work for him, and but she is fine with him just sitting quietly thinking about the prompt rather than writing it as long as he joins in on the class discussions.
The biggest problem has been Physics. Tons & tons of physics homework that takes him a long time. At his 504 meeting a few weeks ago, Physics teacher told he SHOULD take more time for tests if he needs them. He just needs to talk with him about it. We should have brought up how long the homework is taking. I don't think the material is difficult, just there is a lot of time consuming problem sets. (It's a fast paced class they are doing Physics I & Physics II in one year.)
Working on the best fit for university for him.
