[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14 and crappy grades? Explain that doors will close soon if she doesn’t play by certain rules. Maybe there are hidden learning disabilities at play? My twice exceptional oldest needed support and accommodations to achieve in school. Tell your child that she can reach great intellectual heights and do good work all her life. This is what my husband does. He has an MD and a PhD and works in cancer research. My cousin works for an international NGO that build camps for Syrian refugees. She has two PhDs. Both of these people are highly gifted, never fit any mold, and refused to work for the man. Pay is crap, BTW, for these jobs, compared to years of study! My husband has been a lucky investor in stocks. My cousin married someone with means. They both do what they love, and found ways to reach MC or UMC lifestyles. Note that she still needs to put in the work. It’s looking like she can’t do that, for some reason… hence why you should research ADHD and learning disabilities. [/quote] Me again. I know someone who works for a labor union. He has multiple advanced degrees. Getting good grades does not equal joining the rat race of capitalism. My 13 year old daughter has a high IQ and was always bored in school, even on the most advanced tracks. She still understands she needs the As. After school is her fun time (drawing, painting, writing, chatting with friends, etc). You really need to sit your kid down and have a serious talk. [/quote]
