<p>Just a thought here - does the school have 'phys ed type' requirements?? Some do - and some don't - maybe he is getting them out of the way early - or maybe he got 'locked out' of some classes he really wanted to take 1st semester??</p>
<p>Some kids actually do need that 'easy' 1st semester to adjust to all the changes in their lives - tho some can get themselves into some pretty hefty trouble - too much partying/not enough schooling - and end up in a bigger mess - but if he does well in these classes 1st semester - then it would definitely be time to hit the grind stone a bit harder.</p>
<p>Just make sure that he knows the mom/dad 'rules' - how many years you will be involved in paying, etc..... and let this semester go and move forward. As long as he maintains his full-time status for financial/insurance reasons - let it be.</p>
