DS has a final yet Monday. I am at ??? with him. He signed up calc 2 and physic 2 as a freshman-he tested into those classes. And his high school teacher told him, he could do it- even though I had sent an email-basically: tell him no. (Dual class in high school calc1 A).
DD could of done the same, the college said freshman should start at calc 1, DD started at 1. She too had A in same dual class in HS.
You need to drop any class in his program in 8 days- so no homework, no tests yet. He hadn’t needed to study in HS.
Well he trashed those 2 classes grades. He went to tutors and care program-but I felt too late. You have 4 tests a semester.
He got full scholarship and felt smart going in-not so much now.
Arrrghh.
This time: I was allowed, IF HE ALLOWED, to meet with him and chair head when it was time to pick next classes (no one is allowed but students to sign up as aFreshman!) the chair head said “He will repeat the class.” I said no he will take calc 1. And we will take calc 2 hopefully at community college this summer. And I did state I had not wanted him as a freshman to take calc 2 physic 2 but no one is allowed in to supervise class schedule and he got to pick classes. She seemed surprised. I was trying to keep my mouth shut.
I believe I surprised them.
To DD: I had shared with DD as a freshman if she got an F it was fine, I just wanted her to survive. So I know I need to treat them the same. She too needed to learn how to study. But he is killin me.
His other grades are fine-and for those he did not study-per him.
I told him any failing grades next semester, means community college, the next year.
