Michael Moynihan, Upper School Head at The Heights, offers practical and concrete guidance on how to help your son right the academic ship when his failure is entirely within his control. As you will hear in this episode, we reference two other episodes related to academics:

• Cal Newport on APs, Worklife Balance, and How to be a High School Superstar (https://heightsforum.org/podcast/forming-deep-workers-part-ii/)
• Joe Cardenas and Gerard Babendreier on the Strategic Enterprise of Study (https://heightsforum.org/podcast/the-strategic-enterprise-of-upper-school-study-a-k-a-homework/)

In academics, as in other areas, we come face to face with the cold and hard fact that our boys' destiny is very much in their hands. We temper that realization with a healthy dose of patience and optimism, and with the knowledge that there is much we can do to set our boys on the right path.
