[quote=Anonymous]Are you sure he’s really not studying? I have a kid who is very efficient at studying and earns high grades, but he still has to put in some effort to learn new material. For example, he can’t just walk into a history final without doing the reading or going to class. Regardless, it won’t hurt your son if he doesn’t have to study hard in 9th grade. At some point, your son will be faced with new material and can work on those study skills then. For example, if geometry or algebra 2 are too easy, he can take a summer class move to pre-cal or calculus in 10th grade. Hopefully, the extra challenge will lead him to learn how to study. If he still doesn’t need to study when faced with more challenge, I say let him be. Some people are just good at the skills that are measured by high school (e.g., very strong memory and fast processing speed). I was one of those people, and I did not fail out of college. I just learned to work a little harder. [/quote]
