[quote=Anonymous]Germans can be super blunt. If he’s getting on your nerves about it, be a bit blunt back. You can affirm what he’s saying but also point out that your kids or your nieces/nephews/friends’ kids are in the cohort he’s insulting, so maybe he can scale it back a bit when talking to YOU about it. Ask him if he’d like to find extracurricular enrichment opportunities for harder academic work. If you’re in the DC area, make sure he’s taking advantage of all the museums and other cultural offerings in the area. Ask him to join debate or model UN another extracurricular where smart kids participate. Interesting that he’s avoiding hard topics like math and science. Sounds like he’d get his @ss handed to him by some US peers if he’s a junior or senior. Is he also homesick and it’s coming out this way? How’s he doing socially?[/quote]
