[quote=Anonymous]I was kind in same boat, coming from a family of high achievers, always being among first in class, very good at both math of humanities and so on (my spouse more relaxed thankfully) and had great expectations for my kids. well, first one was a desaster, due also to impact of health issues starting elementary school and ADHD. fast forward end of HS: she always sucked at math, like always taking just the basic classes with kids two grades behind and so on, just waiting for the last day of HS when she would kiss goodby to numbers hopefully for the rest of her life. however, in elementary school after the first two years when she was behind in everything, she became a great reader, developed a love for history, joined Model UN clubin middle school, the WIS academy at JR, took all humanities-history-government and so on classes, taking basic math, physics and chemistry only as long as  forced (took As in those classes but they were basics and it took a lot of helicoptering)  . she graduated well and just started college in a very good insitution. my sister sucked at math and she is a successful in house counsel for a major corporation. I love math and science but some people just dont and still have great interests and a successful life.  [/quote]
