[quote=Anonymous]Goodness gracious. The varsity sport gives him a leg up. What you need to do is step up your investment so that he gets over the hump from almost to good enough. That means hiring a tutor for each of his subjects, and turning over your evenings and weekends to them.

Make sure the tutors understand that they will be doing all homework and out-of-school assignments for your son, and that they get a substantial bonus for "A" work. Your son's job is to be ready for each and every in-class quiz and test that comes through--where obviously the tutors can't be there.

So your son will still be studying every moment he's not in class, but the tutors will let him leverage his work. They'll step in so that he can prepare most efficiently and effectively, using every moment wisely. Really, he's been behind the 8-ball far too long, given your selfishness as a parent (example: your considering forcing him to quit the varsity sport). It's time you step up to the commitment you made upon his birth, and invest in his future.[/quote]
