[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is such a challenge, DC has dyslexia and ADHD and plays multiple sports. DC is obsessing about GPA, but struggles. Is it crazy that I don't care if the GPA sucks as long as they get through HS? Some college will take DC even if we need to start at community college.[/quote] It is not crazy. That is an entirely rational, well-balanced choice that places your child's overall wellness at the forefront. When the time comes, you also might consider whether college is really the right path, v. a trade (some of which pay very well, are great fits for kids who struggle with traditional academics, and don't get nearly the respect they deserve in this country.) None of which is to say your child isn't going to be successful in college if they want that path, just that there are a lot of really great options out there that upper middle class parents often discount.[/quote]
