[quote=Anonymous]DS, 12, has discovered that he can get an A in any class with hardly trying (which says as much for the rigor of the school, I admit). There are no opportunities for grade-level enrichment - the only option is acceleration. He has plenty of time for more homework (plays one sport and practices one instrument) We believe he should go for algebra in 8th grade. Meet the challenge and get used to challenging himself, rather than languishing on his laurels. He is resisting - classic underachiever. He prefers to be top of his class rather than risk this position by taking on a challenge. Does anyone have any experience with this? How do you wrench your kid out of this trap? I appreciate your feedback - [/quote]
