A letter I received today. Back ground: This mom had two children go through IM with me last summer. The young boy was falling behind in school and struggling - he's timing began in the poor range, ended more average. Some more IM is planned for him. The sister went through IM at the same time because 'IM is good for everybody', her beginning score was more average and she moved up to the superior/elite range. Here's the note:
Just a quick thank you. As you said-IM is not a fix all but it really has made a difference in our lives. (Middle school girl) made honor roll the entire year last year (because she did it not her MOM :) ) She is very organized. Completes tasks on time. She was the most consistent hitter in softball. She has done just great!
(Upper grade school boy) has done better but obviously still needs work. He could hit the ball better but still struggles a little bit with timing and with completing tasks. He still gets distracted very easily. Will let you know how that goes.
