[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar son, so I feel you! However, I’d like to point out that your kid is actually doing well in school. As and Bs and a C + is a good student! Take a deep breath and order yourself the book “Best Colleges for B students.” It is a very thick book. So he goes to one of the hundreds of colleges in that book. Most kids do! We have backed off our son’s grades because when we push he pushes back harder. He really needs to own this part of his life, and as painful as we find the sea of Cs, those are HIS Cs, and he will have to live with them. And the consequence of them is not going to a selective college, where he wouldn’t have thrived in any case. I’m done trying to make my kid something he is not, and we are all happier for it.[/quote]
