[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:24 I completely agree with this poster except on grades. DS had a very hard time 9th grade year in a competitive school and ended up almost failing a few classes (problem was motivation, he was completely capable of doing the work). One of the things that I'm most proud of is that we laid off of him, encouraged him to continue in hard classes, and let him stay at his school. He turned it around by 11th grade. Too late for Ivy Leagues but he is entirely self-motivated now academically which is important (and his college list isn't bad!). Just watching around us, the pressure for high grades can be tough for kids. Much prefer the "Blessings of a B Minus" kind of philosophy laid out by [b]Wendy Mogel[/b].
