A School Thread

My kids are in 12th grade and 9th grade. It is fun having two in high school. The older one's life is being consumed with college visits; almost every weekend it is somewhere else. We are spending a fortune in college and he hasn't even been accepted anywhere yet! His favotrite thing about school is probably sports and Model UN. He just got back from a Model UN in England where he was the only Ameriican to win a "commended delegate" awaard so he is pretty full of himself. The younger one is doing quite well but after being a leader in Middle School, he is frustrated by being "only" a freshman and having to stand in line behind the upper classmen for things like playing time on varsity teams or pilot console time in his aeronautics programs
