[quote=Anonymous]My kid was a goofball in high school. I like the description of a 'hare' above. That was my kid. Smart. But happy to take a nap along the way and may or may not finish the race. Something clicked when she went to college (UMD). Maybe the fear that 'college is harder' so she took it seriously. Maybe that we weren't looking over her shoulder (that always made things worse). But it seems like she takes school very seriously now--doesn't miss classes and such. (Though obviously impossible for me to tell.) And I can confirm that grades are good. I think the diversity of answers you're seeing above may have to do with majors. Engineering and CS are low-grading disciplines-- they're happy to give Cs and below so kids can potentially really struggle. Some other fields will be much easier than HS since kids can more or less avoid taking the classes that aren't in their preferred fields. [/quote]
