"Hangin'"

Does your teen (ds, dd or ss, sd) go "hang out with friends" after school? If so how often? Every day? For how long?

Maybe that's just a trait of sons of physicists. ;o)

Yea, could be. He has a double dose of "nerdness". His father is a research engineer; his sister is an engineering student. We are a strange family!
Well, dh is a computer, math and electronics geek.
Well, he might not be poor at math just because he is not careful. He just doesn't get great marks, a big difference. My DS was like that in Grade 9 & 10. It turned around last year, probably because he had a male teacher with a Master's Degree.
Has your DS taken any programming? That was what helped turned around both our kids. Now, both love to program, especially C++ & object programming.
I don't encourage my kids to "hang out" much, I guess I'm training them to be good future husbands....lol
He rolls his eyes at the thought of programming - that's a Dad/geek thing.
I wouldn't let my kids just wander around either.
Too bad about that "picky" teacher. My DD had a physics high school teacher like that.
Here, DS has no choice. He has to take calculus if he wants to accepted into any physical science or math program.
Too bad about the programming. Here it is considered "kinda cool" in DS's high school. It's definitely not in the realm of geekdom. It helps that the kids get to do write games. Boys love that kinda thing.
