Praise and criticism

The world's most perfect teenager still has problems with his mother tongue, both educationally and conversationally. Last Friday, when we were in the middle of emptying our former rental premises, I received an email from Junior's Swedish teacher. She's worried about his grades going forward and wants us to take action before it's too late.

I was ready to drop everything to go to school right away but she doesn't have time until next week for an appointment. Both I, my husband and the offspring himself are determined that all three of us must help him with his Swedish skills.

Yesterday was significantly better school-wise for Junior. The school sent him an email in which they wrote that he is 1 of 25 students selected by the school's science department to represent the school in the Noble Prize Youth Seminar organized by the Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar.

The fly in the ointment is that he misses his Swedish lesson that day.
