[quote=Anonymous]Does he have a good friend group at school? OP, your son sounds a lot like mine, also at a Big-3. We kept him there because he has a tight group of friends he's known since PK. Also, he's really happy at school. My DS isn't type-A, but he's super smart, so he often gets away with doing the bare minimum. He's not particularly impressed by Ivy League aspirations (even though DH and I are products of them -- or maybe that's why he's not impressed, haha). However, now that he's about to be a junior, and he's interested in certain colleges, he's taking things more seriously. It's eye-opening for kids to see how high average GPAs and test scores need to be to get into what would have been "safety" schools a generation ago. [/quote]
