sound advice. thank you. i slid on by my high school (essentially straight F up to half way through 10th grade then went straight A, and applied to colleges w/ C- GPA), college and post graduate works, peaked at 36 credit hours for fall semester sophomore college year, graduated undergraduate in 3-years (electrical engineering) and absconded with 2 masters degrees in the following 24-months (master of engineering - computer structures, mba w/ emphasis on derivatives (electrical wave equation based stuff - easy peasy at the time :0)). cannot say ever used any of the learnings in any organised way. touch and go therefore the jack scares me, should he try to out-do me. one of my 'funny' stories in college relates to calculus class, 250 students, swedish professor, thick accent, and no one could understand him, therefore lecture note taking was a waste of time. one saying of his all understood, "on the prelim there shall be 5 questions, and one of them only the very best will solve" okay, so the task is obviously and quickly figure out which one of the 5 questions to skip. it was obvious, use calculus to reckon the volume left over after taking a sphere out of a cube. during the lacteal where the prelim questions were explained, the professor wrote three black boards of equations to explain the very best question, and by the end all students were exhausted listening. then the prof asked of the audience, "jay chen, are you here today?". i raised my hand. the prof turned his back to the class, erased a tiny section of one of three black boards, and wrote the geometry equations i used to solve the very best problem, took him 10 seconds, and while writing, he said, "... and mr chen solved it this way" stunned silence from all. that was a good day :0)

(1) the mrs and i spoke with the coconut's science teacher this day, and now we have decided to give erita the facts and let her decide whether to elect (1-i) Honors biology (1-ii) Honors chemistry (2) the teacher, a very competent one, noted (2-i) erita is a self-motivated / -starter (biology has more homework, and we never have to tell erita to do her work, and neither does the teacher - am somewhat alarmed ... apparently no one tells the coconut to do her work) (2-ii) demo-ed capability / capacity for reading comprehension (both sciences require such in wallops) (2-iii) demo-ed capability / capacity for the conceptual (need more for chemistry) (2-iv) he would recommend / endorse erita's choice for either subject, as he believes she can handle the work relative to other students even if they are in 10-12 grade, and has more math (geometry for chemistry) under belt, "erita is exceptional" (3) the teacher thought our think on correct track, that (3-i) erita super enthusiastic for biology, and be supportive of enthusiasm (3-ii) chemistry may be easier than biology homework-wise, is a subject, eventually unavoidable, but re which one either loves it or hates it - (i.e. i skipped the entirety of my college chemistry lectures as i abhor chemistry) - and yes, it is more conceptual In the mean time the cosy downstairs is emptied out and turned into a dance studio, with springy flooring and yoga this and core exercise that am guessing that at some juncture the jack is going to mumble, "where is my video game coding room?"
