math
This week, Logan brought home from school a glossy, full color certificate. He earned the highest grade in math class on the recent unit test! What a confirmation of his new attitude toward academics. About a week ago, he ran out of credit with the school cafeteria. He and I studied the district calendar and counted the school days in December. I wrote out an equation to multiply by the price of a school lunch. He snatched the pen from my hand and calculated it himself, handing it back so I could write the check. Later that night, he showed me his latest Lego creation: a complex spacecraft with geometric wings and escape pods. “You know what kind of person is good at math and made Lego things like this when he was thirteen?” I ask him. “Engineer?” Logan replies. I nod, knowing that career path would never have seemed possible to the kid he used to be.
Logan, if you are reading this hi from Dante!!! 🙂
This is such wonderful news! Dream big, Logan. Very proud of you
I’m thrilled to hear that your son is doing so well after the year-long trip. How exciting and wonderful for you both! You’re quite some Dad!
Thanks, but I didn’t do it alone! Props to my wife, who came up with the idea and kept the lights on while we traveled.
I think the whole thing was a great idea. Is Logan back in public school now?
Yes, Logan is in seventh grade at the local public school. He’s completely transformed from the student he was before our trip.
Hey Logan. I go to your school now. Just saying hi from some person.
