[quote=Anonymous]My son doesn't like schoolwork and doesn't see the point of it. He did poorly in some of his classes but then scored 1570 on his first SAT and 5s on all his APs. What I see is a person who only does what pleases him and that doesn't fly in the workplace. This has panned out on his first job where he showed up late and demonstrated a lack of enthusiasm. It was a retail job he inherited from his sister when she left for college. He has basically said that whatever he does, it has to be something he went after. In an ideal world that would be great we don't live in an ideal world. There are times of grunt labor and certainly a junior intern will be given unexciting work. Am I right that it's discipline and grit that is lacking? I can't do anything about this attitude. It seems so entitled.[/quote]
