[quote=Anonymous]My oldest is like this (14) and I take it as an indicator of his intelligence and common sense. I think being able to identify the endless box-checking as the BS that it is could potentially serve this type of kid well, IF they try just hard enough at the stuff they don’t care about to keep their options open. My kid seems to respond better when I acknowledge that he is correct that so much of what he is expected to do in school is pointless, but that by not just doing it anyway he might be closing some doors for himself.[/quote]
