[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think maybe you and OP need to let your kids choose their own future, even if it isn't "what you want for your kid."[/quote]

No, no not what I meant at all.  I am sorry that this took off on a college thread or people think I am trying to plan his future. I was just asking for BTDT about MS & HS.  More like....he is going to get " c's" and is that okay.  I guess I really meant that I can ask, supervise, hover, hound whatever to get the work done or should I just let him do whAt he wants, how much he wants, knowing that he will struggle and get c's.  of course, I know he is young and has many years ahead.  I am not a tiger mom at all.  Well, I got lots of good feedback and support so thank you all.  He is a beautiful soul, really, and that  counts for something.  He is the kind of kid when you give him a piece of toast he says " mom, that was the best toast ever." I want him to keep that spirit and also find a way to encourage him to do just a bit better with school simply because I know he can.  Again, thank you all![/quote]

This made me tear up a bit. Your son sounds like mine. Also finishing 6th grade and is slowly tanking in English at his very good IB DCPS. It is very hard to just let them be "whatever". You are a great mom. Remember that, please.[/quote]
