OT heaving...
Congratulations to Nathan! He is obviously very bright. It can be hard
to get bright kids motivated. The fact that he's taking advanced courses two years early might help, especially if he gets something that really interests him. Maybe you could appeal to his ego by mentioning the fact that his getting an "A" in an advanced class, when many older students can't do that, would be a feather in his cap. Good luck! Raising gifted kids isn't easy, but it can be very rewarding. -- Joy Laughter is to life what shock absorbers are to automobiles. It won't take the potholes out of the road, but it sure makes the ride smoother. -- Barbara Johnson "wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote in message ... It's black eye time. Due to the maternal bosums heaving with pride. Nathan took GCSE astronomy two years early and he's passed (Grade C). Not the highest pass, but not the worst, and not bad for someone taking it two years early. Not bad either for someone who did very little work.... an hour a week in his own time after school... and not much in the way of revision (sigh...). I'm letting him have a couple of days or so of basking in his achievement and then will do the "I'm very proud of you and imagine what you can achieve if you did more work/revision!" as I don't want him thinking that he can now sail through the rest of his GCSEs/GNVQ by doing very little work!

A KITTEN ;-)
just kidding, but first thing I thought of when I read this Hah! As much as I love cats, three permanent feline residents in the household is sufficient for the moment. He'll probably end up egtting *something* for his bike, such as proper tribars or a rear disk wheel... just don't tell him that ;-) Cheers, helen s ~~~~~~~~~~ This is sent from a redundant email Mail sent to it is dumped My correct one can be gleaned from h*$el***$$n*$d$ot$**s**i$$m*$m$**on**$s$@*$$a**$*o l*$*.*$$c$om*$ by getting rid of the overdependence on money and fame ~~~~~~~~~~ |

Congratulations, Nathan and Helen. Not sure what the four-letter-acronyms
are for, but I can tell a Proud Momma a block away! Sam "wafflyDIRTYcatLITTERhcsBOX" wrote in message ... It's black eye time. Due to the maternal bosums heaving with pride.
