Oct. 20, 2008 - Just a quick "yoo-hoo"
A quick update on all things educational around here, since I've been spotty about my posts lately.
Some decisions and changes.
ONE. We will NOT be continuing the Lit class on Wednesdays after this 6 week session is done. Just WAYYYYY too much info for small son to absorb in far too short a time for him....but....we had to try. Now I have a little better handle on just how far I "can" push him and exactly what he is capable of absorbing. More than I previously thought.....but not in the 'speed' with which this group is going. I am grateful it is a short session, as I think small son can handle this challenge with as little self recrimination as possible...not so mom, here. Feeling really......bad.
TWO. I have dropped the Math course from his SOS schedule....there is absolutely NO WAY he can even begin to accomplish the subjects covered, especially since he has not mastered the 'basics' yet. Again....a good try and a good measure of where he needs. Now, we will drag out our old MathUSee, which is the BEST way he 'learns' math.....and review and go from there.....almost done with the level he was working on last year and need to get a new one ordered.
THREE. Small son has decided the challenge of being with a new youth group is a little too....advanced for him. Which is why they limit it to 14 y/o and above and some mature 13 y/o's. Small son is quiet and 'manageable', but far from the 'mature' level they have. Not a bad situation, just a few times a month he will not be with some of the young folks.
Good decisions all....and much prayed over. Feeling confident about the Holy Spirit's leading with this.....
More tomorrow.

your son too, I didn't get to comment on your last post, so here it is all in one comment!! Loved your last post, what an encouragement, even though we may not "see" it now, they are taking something in all the time!! So glad to have the chance to make sure what they are taking in is the "good stuff"!! Sounds like your all right on track with your decisions on what you'll contine and what you won't. Hope the good days continue for you and your son!!
Blessings
