[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband struggled in school, including high school. His SAT scores were abyssmal. But he did great in college and went on to get his Ph.D. and has had a very successful career. I suspect he has some low-level ADHD, so when he [b]was able to study what he was interested in, he excelled.[/b][/quote] I struggle with this with my DS (14) -- he gets As in the subjects he likes but struggles to stay engaged and turn work in on time in classes he dislikes. So, a typical report card is As in math, social studies. Bs in science. Goes back and forth between Cs-Bs in English and foreign language. So frustrating. I do think he'll do fine when he gets to college and can focus on subjects he likes, or at least he knows are working toward his goals. And, he says a primary screening criteria when he applies to college will be that he doesn't want to go anywhere that requires him to take a foreign language![/quote]
