[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? So he can struggle all through high school?[/quote]

He is not struggling. He is coasting even in magnet school. It is hard to explain. He is extremely bright, get high A's in all tasks/HW and suddenly does not put any effort in one high weight task and gets an E and the grade turns to B. He feels it is unnecessary to brood over one tasks and moves on. Both the subjects had this pattern. Do not know if you call this a struggle, but I do not consider this to be. If I feel that he is struggling I would not bother with the application process at all since his local school has an IB program.[/quote]

You could be writing about my son, who is also in a MS magnet program.  I do think that part of it is just what boys (especially) are like in MS, but another part (at least for our son) is that he is so accustomed to relying on his smarts that the introduction of very hard work and lots of time as part of the equation for success is coming as a bit of a shock to him.
