Simon woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. He’s been intentionally pushing buttons all morning. I wonder what it’s like inside his head. Sometimes I wish I could get an Inside Out like view of what drives him. I put him to work coding. I figure that if he’s going to push buttons, I can at least make sure they are not mine. Normally, I would insist that he change to language or social studies, but today, I’m just going to roll with whatever they are willing to do.
Yesterday afternoon I took the boys to a DJI education center where they got to play with Robomaster battle bots. The cost for classes is exorbitant so I looked into just buying the robots. Much cheaper. I told the boys that if they are serious about their coding and study hard, I would consider it. It’s still $500 per machine, so I’m going to need to see some serious devotion, but we have a goal to work toward.
