One of my grandsons got his ACT score today. A perfect 36. He has always been a straight A student and is very mature and responsible. He hopes to go to West Point. We are very proud.

All the dads, veterans of the Korean War era, put the kibosh on it.
I don't recall why my dad was so against it. But he was.
Good luck to your grandson.

He may even think about how cool and 'with it' his granny is.
