[quote=Anonymous]If school is really easy and doesn't require hard work, then I think it's a problem, because your kid's not learning skills like organization, studying, persevering through difficulty, etc. But if your kid is working for those good grades and developing good study habits, then it's less of a concern. Are they understanding the material? Is their writing decent? (Able to write paragraphs with topic sentences and supporting details, able to draft an organized essay that makes a coherent argument supported with evidence, or research and draft a report that presents appropriate information in an organized way.) If she's coasting, that's an issue; if she's developing good habits, maybe don't worry so much and look for ways to allow her to explore other interests.[/quote]
