Unfortunately, I agree. I was in AP English, Math, etc... struggled a bit, my parents pulled me out and it helped. Double the work, harder lessons, add on the extra stuff(football, wrestling), it was hard. I know it's not the "right" attitude, but I got out of the classes, they seemed easier, and aced them. That was the difference between student loans and a full scholarship. Good Luck man. It's a hard thing to deal with, but also, the kiddo may just flat out feel better about himself. Good Luck man. He's gonna need it to get into a great college like THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS
