[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should I push him towards more renowned universities, or is it okay to support his choice of more accessible colleges, given his exceptional skills? [/quote] You can want him to look at selective schools, but if he's getting C's on a routine basis, he might be excluding himself.[/quote] Yes, you're right. I've been contemplating whether I should be strict about the 'no C's' rule or just let him follow his current path. It's a tricky situation, especially when I compare it to my other child, who isn't as clear about their future goals and doesn't have any "natural" talent so graders are important. With this son, I feel like he'll do well regardless, but I do worry about him having regrets later in life. He's demonstrated in the past, before high school, that he's capable of high academic achievement. This makes me wonder if he should put in more effort now, so he doesn't look back and wish he had done things differently.[/quote]
