[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of hard to get into schools where the hard part is getting in. There are also easier schools where you have to work to get a decent GPA. Make sure he's not expecting to go to a 'good enough' school, do nothing and then graduate with a great GPA and be handed a job or admission to a graduate school [/quote] This is 100% accurate and very important to know. It sounds like he doesn't understand this yet.[/quote] Thanks, this is OP. He's in 9th grade and doesn't know anyone in college yet. So you are right. [b]My dilemma is whether or not to keep him in the rigorous courses next year in 10th grade or go ahead and dial back the intensity now. My gut feeling is to leave things unless he raises the issue further.[/b] [/quote] Your choice of words makes it sound like you feel this is mostly your choice to make for him. [/quote]
