Teh Boy

[zestfive]

Monday was school conferences. He's very solidly in the B range right now. I'm pleased. The teachers all said wonderful things about him being a very kind young man.  One of his favorite teachers does socratic inquiries on various topics in a salon format, the boy loves these and this teacher. He (the teacher) said that he seems to be in a much better place this year than last socially. I was always worried that teh boy wasn't very happy in his life because of his lack of tribe. He seemed to have found that and feel a bit better about himself lately. This makes me happy. I just hope that this will continue throughout the year. Last year he started out okay and then slowly dropped down and his last quarter was the worst including his F in german.

Is this his first year of HS?
Patrick never did well in the begining of a class. I think he was always striving for the "Most Improved" award.
Languages are like that... I did really well in Spanish because I could memorize the words but when they expected me to understand the language I could not. My grade for Spanish was a D.

I am glad that teh boy is doing well this year.

nah, he's a junior now.

When I was in German, I did okay but as we advanced, not so much. I'm still glad that I got my language out of the way in high school instead of doing it in college.

I did not know that language was a necessity for college. How did your high school classes benefit your college education? I am so confused.

I took one year of Spanish and squeaked by... I think I got a D. It was horrid!

With some liberal arts degrees there is a language requirement. They will take 3 years of high school or one year of college to meet it. That's why I took German in high school for three years. I didn't like it either.
