[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the above. There were quite a few "profoundly gifted" kids in my graduating class that didn't have the grades for a top school OR who got to a good school and then didn't finish college because they didn't have a strong work ethic, didn't do their homework, etc.[/quote] Why do you think this is? Because they weren't used to working hard for good grades? Or just lack of a work ethic?[/quote] Some gifted kids excel at one or two things and can have trouble maintaining focus across all courses. But honestly OP I think that, to the extent you can, help foster a love of learning rather than a love of good grades. [/quote] No. Not a love of learning. Foster a love of working hard and a love or organization/time management. --Mom of a profoundly gifted kid taught to "love learning" who is now in high school.[/quote]
