[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a crapshoot. My husband and I are both lawyers. One of our children is academically motivated, one is decidedly not (late-diagnosed inattentive ADHD), and the third is in the middle. If I were you, OP, I'd look into whether you have inattentive ADHD or some other learning difference. I am absolutely convinced that I have inattentive ADHD. I think I did well in high school and college because I wasn't really challenged and because my analytical skills are above average. DC with ADHD (and above-average analytical skills) flamed out in middle school because the public schools around here are much more demanding than in my rural hometown. Law school was a wake up call, and I didn't go to a T14. I got through it, even graduated cum laude, but there were many nights I cried myself to sleep. [/quote]
