jo1---the villas are wonderful. we wish we could get one for the power school graduation, but i believe they are all taken. it was like having a home away from home. if you need help with directions to get to them, let me know. we kinda got lost trying to find them. so much for gps!!!LOL

My son did well on his last test, but apparently, his section scored their worst average yet and were all given mandatory study hours.(15/2) My son is not a happy camper, he feels he has kept his GPA very high and feels he is being punished. He says that they have very little class time right now and are being given most of the day to study so an additional 2-3 hours a day is torture. I told him not to let him down, maybe he should tutor some of the students. He told me that they are discouraged against going to other students for help. Well then I guess all he can do is hope his class does better next time!

Cindylou so glad to hear your son did well unfortunatly my sailor did not and it has absolutely devasted him. He studies hard and puts all his effort intoit and for the first time failed a test. He texted me last night to tell me had done poorly on the test and was so frustrated with him self. He says the atmosphere on base is very negative and those that had a good positive attitudes are starting to develop a negative one including him self causing him to doubt the decisions he has made . Praying for all the sailors on that base.

I am sorry that your son didn't do well. From what I understand, this was a hard test to many. I can't remember for certain but I think he said his section's average on this test was 2.3. Obviously not an easy test. My son said that many who never failed a test, failed this one including one of his best friends. He told his buddy not to get down on himself for one test. I also got the impression that moral was down for everyone. Hope they have another test soon so they can score higher and uplift the general mood around there.

Pennie I think your son is in the same section as mine. I have not heard how Monday's test went. I know on Sunday he thought he knew the material fairly well. Sometime I think over confidence is a very bad enemy. I too am worried about a growing negative attitude that seems to be catchy. I tell him not to be around people with a bad attitude and he tells me what do you want me to do- stay in my room by myself. I have tried sending him cards and even bought him the book The Little Engine that Could. I don't know what to do to make a better attitude permanent.

Spoke with my son last night and was relieved to learn he had done fairly well on that last test. His high school physics teacher would be happy to know he gave him all the credit for his success. He did tell me there were something like 11 failures. He and another sailor were going out for dinner. His attitude was more positive which was a big weight off my shoulders. I can only hope that it will last.
