Excellent Student

I am so greatful to have such a good student for a son. I never have to fight with him about doing his homework and he takes it very seriously and works very hard at it, even though he really does not like it most of the time. He has had quite a rude awakening since starting at his new school this year. It has been a big challenge, which is the opposite of what he had at his previous school. He went from having a very easy 15 minutes of homework a night to having at least an hour of thought provoking work to do each night. He also went from having everything spelled out for him to now having many different subjects to keep up with and keeping a planner. It used to be easy for him to come home and do his homework on the kitchen table and then put it away in his backpack for the next day. Now, he has several books and workbooks to spread out and things that are ongoing for a week at a time - not just daily. So, to get him more organized, we bought him this desk and chair, which he picked out and bought accessories for and organized all by himself. He is very proud of his space and keeps it tidy and clean. With all the turmoil we had in the beginning and the hard changes he has made, he has managed to get straight A's thus far in school.

Noah, we are so very proud of you and all the work you have done and continue to do. You are such a responsible young man and Daddy and I really appreciate it.
