Have you read Sylvia Rimm's 'Why Smart Kids get Poor Grades?'

I think you'll see a lot of your son there, especially as little sister starts 'gunning' for him.

Can your son type well? Is he allowed to keyboard his writing assignments? My son's writing was terrible until age 9, when the touchtyping finally came in. I gently started bribing him at age 7, off and on, to learn correct typing finger position.

Best Wishes,
