Micah's grades came in- as predicted...

D's and F's for classwork, but A's and B's for final exams.

Math, for example. Didn't do lots of the homework (EVERY DAY we fought this! Sometimes he'd do it but didn't turn it in, sometimes he forgot about it...why don't these people make a syllabus! Why don't little 13-year-old boys come with organized brains?)...but on the final exam he got an A.

Same in science...D for the regular classes, B for the exam. Most classes were the same story. Except art. Great grades there- no surprise. :)

So yes we know it's a maturity issue and not an ability issue. His brain has long-term jet lag.
