[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've found that most boys who have the perfect grades, etc needed to get into these schools have some degree of (often controlled) anxiety. The default for an 8th grade boy is to blow off grades a bit. Not to the degree of failing but to let a few things slide. It's almost a rite of passage or a stage of development. Those who make it through junior high with everything done perfectly are often motivated in part by anxiety. not pathological anxiety but some low-grade anxiety that is often motivating. I speak from experience. [/quote] Great post! Thank you![/quote]
