Today Don, Trevor, and I went to talk to his teachers and school counselor. It was a great meeting. I found out that he is at least trying since we started talking to him about his grades. He has risen his World History grade a significant amount and his teacher thinks that if he keeps it up he may have an A by the time Semester grades come out.
His spanish teacher told us that he needs to focus and not talk to the girl behind him though she thinks that she is helping him stay on task (I wonder if that is the girl he asked to Homecoming). He was missing a workbook for her class so we bought another one and hopefully he can now get caught up.
He is getting an A+ in Lit I hope that he can keep that going since he went to summer school this past summer becuase of this class but once again it was because of the homework.
His math teacher didn't show but we knew that she wouldn't. Trevor told us that it is not to hard of a class but that he is just not doing the work and that he would do better.
The hardest class of all Honors Bio. Not sure what I should do. Do I take him out of the class or do I leave him in it and make him try harder. I feel like I should keep him in it and let him try harder but then I take the risk of him failing the class. As of right now I told his teacher that I would like daily reports from her and I hope that I we can get him to succed.
Tomorrow is the twins conferences so I will let you know how it goes.

Sounds like he's doing good to me. Jake never got an A in an English class all through High School. My suggestion is to keep an eye on the honors, and don't be afraid to put him back in the regular class. Sometimes we make too much out of the honors classes. All in all, I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference. Maybe they don't get into Stanford or USC, but any college is good enough for most occupations. If he wants to me a doctor, then maybe honors bio is important, otherwise, don't push too hard.
How about you guys come over for dinner and game night on Saturday. Ken said he would BBQ something yummy, and teach you a little about Spades. Maybe we can do a trivia game, or play the American Idol game on the Wii. Let me know.
On 11/1/08? or this weekend? We would love to. My step son is in a Ju jitzu tournament in Irvine on Saturday but we don't know the time yet I will keep you posted. We will be in Laguna Nigel at 9:30am for soccer and 2:00pm in Rancho Santa Margarita for cheer. What you doing for lunch?
We have soccer at 9:45 in Aliso Viejo. If everyone is down here anyway, we should just get together. Then do something adults only on the 1st. What do you think? Talk with the big man and make a plan.
