[quote=Anonymous]A lot is KID dependent. My kids always have gotten straight As fairly easily (yes they study, but it isn't enough to affect participation in sports or social life). They are at a private HS. They have always scored high on standardized tests with almost no prep. They have fantastic memories and retain info, can analyze and summarize very quickly---just like their parents. I was (and am) the same. I was a STEM major-athlete that partied a lot in college to the amazement of friends. AT a job where everyone had to do involuntary overtime to stay afloat...I was out the door at 5pm and more productive. My work colleague (former college roommate) would spend hours trying to do the same. Her boyfriend used to ask why it was so hard for her and easy for me.[/quote]
