Hannah and School.

<parental boasting>

Hannah started tutoring this last week. She said it was interesting. She was tutoring another student in Algebra  Geometry.

Hannah is also taking two classes outside of school, online. She is taking an English class and Math class extracurricularly. I brag about this to mention that, while she claims that the work is not difficult, she spends a lot of time on homework. She spends at least three hours a night, often more, working on schoolwork. I do not have to push her at all. She is pushing herself harder than I would. Impressive that a freshman takes school this seriously.

On a related note, she is starting to get letters from schools/colleges and summer programs inviting her to attend. The school must have added her name to a list somewhere.
A freshman getting invitations letters to check out campuses? That just seems weird to me.

I was asked to help judge the school science fair last week. A note for kids doing science fairs: Make sure you work extra hard on your hypothesis, mentioning WHY you think what you do (use science, avoid opinion) and have a good summary and conclusion.. Just being honest here, as a judge I have a lot of science projects to get through.. I read those first, and if they don’t catch my attention, I don’t go much farther…..

Hannah, Somewhere along the line you are going to look back at these comments and say to yourself.. “Hmm, I was rather short about these issues wasn’t I?”.
But fear not. I’m quite happy you have high exacting standards. I will try to meet them. Your standards naturally raise everyone’s standards, and that can be nothing but good.
