[quote=Anonymous]Therapy? Medication? Are you serious? You are part of the pressure cooker. You say he hates homework. Does he test well? He is smart and not engaged by his classes. I agree that if he found topics or interests that engage him, he would be more interested in learning that helped him pursue them in more depth. Learning, nit schoolwork. The pressure cooker culture says he MUST work long hours on schoolwork to get good grades and have a top college worthy resume. Maybe he won't go to a top college. Maybe he'll pick Eckerd, major in marine science and be a marine biologist. A failure in your eyes but not in marine biologists' eyes. On to Woods Hole or Scripps. Sorry about your brag rights nearvterm.[/quote]
