| I have had a conference with this teacher 
|       for other reasons and she told that he reads to much sci-fi
|       and needed to read more historical books. That his head was 
|       to high in the sky. My answer to that was at least he reads
|       1 to 2 hours a night every night.

[Lee]:
Duh--good on you!  Bad on teacher!  When he's interested, he'll read history
stuff.  Admittedly, I never did much reading of history when I was in
school.  I just had no interest in history and barely passed my tests.  I
loved reading fantasy, SciFi, biography stuff, and medical stuff.

I can relate, though, as I once had a recreation counselor tell me I'd never
make it because I was too serious and because I liked classical music she
felt I needed to get with it, so to speak.  I fully resented her for that.
Of course, 35 years later (I was 10), my music collection is extremely
eclectic. <Grin>

[Melody]:
| He has not had a good year 
|       this school year and thank goodness it is almost over. I just
|       feel bad because this is the first time that I have tried to
|       help him or that he has let me help him on a project. Normally
|       I buy the supplies and just watch him do it. So maybe it was my 
|       help that hurt his grade. Well with the teacher gone we will
|       never know.

[Lee]:
Melody, I think it's great that you helped him and hardly think you are to
blame for his teacher's attitudes.  She obviously needs a bit of happiness
potion. :-)

Cheers,

Lee :-)
