[quote=Anonymous]If your kid wants the magnet programs badly, but isn't concerned about the Bs, it's possible he doesn't get the connection between grades and magnet acceptances. He probably cruised through ES with A's and getting into the MS magnet may have seemed easy to him. Is there any way you can explain the importance of grades in this process to him -- but this is key, without getting him too worked up, and without seeming worked up yourself? A calm, maybe even humorous approach drawing on your own experiences applying to college. Also, does he have any outside accomplishments in math/science/computers that he can use as a hook? The magnet folks look for kids whose needs can't be satisfied outside the magnet, and if he's excelled in some area to the point where he needs advanced classes, this is a good hook.[/quote]
