[quote=Anonymous]Is he living up to his potential? That's what I would be concerned with at this point, not where he might go to college. I've had kids at three different high schools and two different colleges (with a rising HS sophomore still to go), and what matters isn't where they end up but how diligently they work along the way. I'd be disappointed if my kids put in less effort than they're capable of expending, considering school is their only major responsibility from 9th-12th. Your last question sets up a false dichotomy. It's like the question asked during so many college tours: "What's better, a kid who gets Bs in rigorous courses or a kid who gets As in easier ones?" The standard reply is always, "The kid who gets As in rigorous courses." Is there some reason your son can't independently juggle a full schedule and still get more As than Bs? [/quote]
