Good to hear back from you, Struggle Street.

One reaction …

I just wish someone at his school had noticed this problem and got him going in that direction months ago.

On some college visits, I got the impression that there are colleges where this would happen. I called them the “nurturing” colleges. But I don’t think this kind of thing is likely to happen AT ALL at most Universities, nor probably at most colleges. Not that they aren’t there to help, when help is sought. But I don’t think there’s anyone looking out to notice whether his grades are up to his expectations, whether he’s spending too much time gaming, procrastinating, etc.

A lot different from what some of us might have had available at our kids’ high schools.
