So my wife and I got to the high school and meet with the GC and they bring in his math prof... Well my son is a problem child... Always has been.. Super smart! High IQ . Super SAT scores got him into college, accepted and through orientation before he got out of HS... That's assuming he's graduating!!
He is failing math... And unless he gets a great grade in the 4th semister and on his final... He's not graduating... He scores high on his test.. But he doesn't hand in homework or class work... He does his home work, I make sure of it but he doesn't hand them in?? How dumb is that? Do the work and not get credit for it!!
All year I've been trying to get him to hand in stuff.. But in school I have no control... So last month I met with the math prof and my son and we set up times for him to come in after class and work on homework.. And class work and hand them in.. I email his prof every Monday to find out how he's doing and get a heads up on what's coming up that week... Sad to be doing for a senior in HS but its the only thing that's working..
So were setting in the GC office and the math prof walks in... He now has a B+ and maybe an A after this last test... Its working!!!
His bigest problem besides not handing stuff in is showing his work!! He will blow through a problem and do it on the calculator and hand it to me to check! Where's your work? Damn!! And showing the units.. Nothing. Half the time you don't need any equations if you know what the units of the answer and the components.. Newtons and Kg-M/sec squared... Vs momentum at Kg-M/sec. And torque at Kg-m. Easy stuff if you show your work and keep track of your units!! Drives me crazy!!
Wait till he gets in college and I won't be around to help!! Sink or swim time... I just hope he gets out of HS......
