[quote=Anonymous]I hate to say it but your child is not an underachiever if he is getting straight As. I would be over the moon if my child were getting straight As, that would mean that he was making an effort to do his best. Mine makes absolutely no effort and does not care what his rank is - he would be perfectly happy with all C's even though I know he is fully capable of all As if he tried or wanted to try. I think it's awesome that he wants to stay at the top of his class. Is he taking honors or Advanced classes? I would certainly encourage it - same content just more in-depth. Also, if he is breezing through math, meet with his teacher and get her recommendation. If the teacher says "he needs to take Algebra I" maybe he would be more inclined to do it. If not, just be proud of him and encourage him to keep up the good work. [/quote]
