Rowan greeted me by saying "I'm going to start working on my report tonight." He was supposed to start it over the last 2 nights. When I said that, he replied that it was not due until Friday (true), and that "you freekin' lied to me!" (that is was not due Friday, but today). I told him it was not due today, but that he needed to have created the outline. I showed him where it was written in his agenda, and he started cursing more. He continued with a severe tantrum for a few minutes. Later he admitted that he knew he needed to do it but didn't. So he planned the whole tantrum (with lots of profanity) as a diversion from the truth! It was quite dramatic and well-thought out.

Lesson Comments
Stephanie seemed to do pretty well on the Algebra practice problems. Her father was planning to have her do a full length practice test Saturday morning - timed so that she feels pressure similar to what she will feel on test day. We are hoping that practicing under pressure will make her feel more comfortable when she takes the ACT again.
Stephanie will be prepared to do algebra problems on the ACT.

Stephanie's father, Warren, attended the session today. He wanted to learn more about the ACT and had some suggestions as to how he thought she might gain the ability to answer specific types of questions. We worked together to create a plan and will continue to evaluate the plan and make any necessary changes.
