[quote=Anonymous]Take her on some college tours.

We went on some college tours with our Junior over spring break and our Freshmen son was with us so he got to hear directly from the Admissions officers on what type of grades are needed to be admitted.

Freshmen has some schools he really likes---and I remind him that he needs to stay on top of grades to have a chance at them.   He is a major procrastinator (unlike his older brother), and as a Sophomore with the workload that is going to increase and the courses becoming more complex what he is doing this year and still managing to pull out As is not going to work--not even close.

We know when he says he's studying in his room on his laptop---he's goofing off on it.  He already has to plug his iphone in the kitchen and has time to check messages-but it doesn't stay in his room.  We started having him bring his laptop downstairs and making him do some of the work at the kitchen table.

Both kids play sports (high school and club) and know that grades come first.  My younger one is continually told to get his HW done before he goes to practices (7-8:30) because he is not going to start it at 9pm.[/quote]
