He is more rounded than you or even he knows... as an outside viewer, I see you're kids adjusting better than you sometimes think... they want you to make everything all better and when you don't or can't they handle it ... sort of like adults except an adult can run to Mom and Dad to fix it...but I see the older ones looking at those adult shoes and Eric doesn't want anyone doing anything for him that he can do himself ... so suck up that tear and poke out your chest in pride... they're great kidsPatricia J.

It seems that it was a win, but there are often things we give up, aren't there, in order to reach some certain goal. And because he was accepted I guess one of the goals at least was met. Our school focuses almost entirely on the students' individual interests & that is what they study. From 5-14 they choose & the teachers guide that learning in so many different ways. We do no testing, & when students move on to more traditional schools, they are accomplished in several ways & figure out the testing easily (or so they tell me). I'm happy you had such a great year with your son. My brother is (was) a passionate percussionist so there is a special place in my heart for all those who choose that music. Have a great day Irene!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
