[quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your kid. Are they an underachiever? Do they lack self-awareness? Are they not a self-starter? If you think your kiddo could benefit from starting early, then go for it. Some kids don't need to start early, others can benefit from the extra guidance. Since we are new to private, I will likely look for a coach at the end of freshman year after he's had time to adjust and get his feet wet. DS is bright, but is not a self-starter and needs someone to show him the big picture. Very goal oriented, but needs guidance. DS expressed they are interested in potentially positioning themselves for an Ivy. I made it very clear that if that is what they want, they need to put in 110% effort starting in 9th grade. We will see how the year goes and how goals change. [/quote]
