[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has no interest in activities, and never really has. Has maybe 1-2 that are mostly just on paper. No real hobbies either. Course rigor and GPA are both very high, but test scores are middling (1100-1200). Better to encourage SAT prep or activities? Both? Neither? DC is very resistant to parental suggestions. Goal is a large merit scholarship at a good college (T10/Ivies not of much interest.)[/quote] My kid is in the same boat. He got a job as soon as he turned 16 summer before junior year. had trouble finding something within walking/biking distance from us before that age. The paycheck is a big motivation now although he has to save part for college. He even picks up extra shifts when possible and gets extra on holidays..Not sure about big merit but at least he is getting out of the house and saving $. [/quote]
