[quote=Anonymous]First of all, there is no below average child. Life is beyond narrow math scores, SAT scores, GPA. Children flower at different ages. Your only role as a parent is to encourage whatever his interest is. Everyone on this thread is playing the % game. If my child gets X GPA and Y SAT, they will get into Ivy, and then they will be successful. Sure some will be more successful than others but a whole lot will not be. Equally some who did not win the GPA/SAT game will be incredibly successful in life Don't judge your son by others metrics. Life is multi-faceted and your child can succeed in areas beyond the two dimensional metric this forum cares about. Give him the time and space to flower. I know kids who went to community college after school and then moved to the most prestigious institutions. Support him, that's the only thing that matters. [/quote]
