[quote=Anonymous]Our youngest in high school isn't as motivated to study hard as the older siblings now in college at competitive colleges. We have told our younger that we expect As and Bs, but please no Cs on report cards to keep your options a bit more open. Kid is delivering on that. I'll take it. You have to meet your kids where they are as teens nearing adulthood. This kid is just more chill than older siblings who were more tightly wound about their academics. I have quietly accepted that this kid likely will not be getting into a few state flagships, but will land somewhere. Potentially even a year of community college in order to mature a bit more before transferring to a four-year university. I have decided to make these last years of our K-12 years enjoyable. I want to enjoy the experience while it lasts. Who knows? Our youngest may end up the most successful in life, and older siblings are asking them for a loan. Life is weird that way. [/quote]
