[quote=Anonymous]My kid monitors his grades and dials it in if it looks like he’s going to come close to not getting an A. I mostly stay out of it other than occasionally checking his grades online and pointing out that he should make sure he does well on upcoming test in xyz class if his average is on the low side. He generally gets work/studying done in school and does the minimum needed to maintain his average.

A couple times he misjudged and had to correct the second half of the semester. He’s definitely had to learn as classes have gotten harder that he can’t always just coast and needs to actually paying attention in certain classes and occasionally even, gasp, study. He’s motivated enough though that he takes those lessons and then does what he needs to do.

But as PPs have said, he’s a naturally motivated kid (at least when it comes to school). My other kid isn’t as academically inclined but is VERY motivated when he sets his mind to something (more than his brother). It will be interesting to see how that plays out in high school. [/quote]
