Scatterbrained, Disorganized, Harried

You’ve got my sympathies because we’re dealing with the same problem here. S is just now “cramming” for his AP Stats when he had months to study with a group. He is doing poorly in chem and if he gets a D, may possibly miss his sr. yr in band because he’ll have to retake it. He’s stressed out and so am I.

I’m at my wit’s end. His GC says he’s ok but with a class of 715, he probably looks like a genius to them. Lots of potential that’s gone nowhere…is it too late? I don’t know. He’s had us on a rollercoaster for 3 yrs now.

I’d like to look into independent studies next yr to get him through hs and be done with it. I should’ve done it a long time ago. He will do well in college once he gets there - but he needs to learn how to be organized before we send him on to college. DH is already talking about doing a yr or two in jr. college. I don’t feel good about that.
