[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son is at a Big 3 school. He currently doesn't work very hard or study much, but manages to still get mostly As and a couple of Bs on his report card. We're worried that when he enters high school he will be in for a rude awakening and realize that he needs to buckle down and work a lot harder to get good grades. Right now he is totally unmotivated by school and more into video games. We're trying to decide if it even makes sense to keep him in private school and pay all this money for an education he doesn't seem to care much about. He's a smart kid so would probably do very well in public, and from what others have said on this board he might even have a chance of getting into a better college than if he sticks with private and is competing with much more accomplished kids. I think our son would be upset to leave his friends and the only school he's ever known, but we're frustrated by his apathy towards his education.

What would you do?[/quote]

If he is happy at the school let him stay. Seriously. Life is short. In meantime you can set some limits on video games etc… but if he ks getting As and bs he is fine. He will find out for himself that he needs to buckle down. In meantime let him enjoy his summer.[/quote]
