I don't expect him to get the scores his sister scored. I expect him to get the scores necessary for the schools interested in him. After acceptance scores are irrelevant. All younger kids live in the shadow of the older kid until they break out and have the opportunity to establish themselves. In the meantime he has an attitude anything she can do he can do better. All I'm looking for in SAT scores adequate for the possible opportunities available.
I'm a little ticked he didn't listen to me and have the sense of urgency regarding SAT's I told him he needed to have a year ago. Now he's under the pressure of succeeding in October or losing a lot of academic-baseball opportunities. This is a stubborn kid who sometimes has to do it his way and land on his head. Amazingly he always bounces and lands on his feet. A baseball dad/friend calls him Morris**. My son has no idea why.
