[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have a child like this whom I just redshirt in middle school to give him time to figure things out. He is lousy at doing homework and studying. He relies on what he hears in class for test taken. He is currently a B, he would be all C's if I didn't keep after him. Yet, he doesn't need academic help, he just doesn't do the little stuff to keep up. He has taught himself how to computer program/code in Java. He loves physics and wish his science ( the only A in his report card) would do more of it in class, so he studies it on his own at home. But his other teachers complain about his organizational skills and lack of focus in class, which makes him not all that likable. We will likely go private in our effort to get him inspired. We also travel a lot and try other ways to expand his experiences so he can have other areas of strength to help him figure himself out. It gets frustrating parenting this kid, as he takes all the efforts away from our other kids.[/quote]

This is the kind of kid the GT program was originally designed for. He sounds like he knows what he is good at and knows how to get better at it. I bet he ends up inventing something cool and owning a company: then all the "good students" will work for him!  :) [/quote]
