[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]DS is wonderful, smart, funny, socially adept but somewhat lazy both academically and personally. He half-asses his chores; his cleaning never measures up to my standard of cleanliness. He gets good grades but won't overexert himself. AP? What's that? IB? Why? [/quote] Sorry, this would bother me. I don't care if my child goes to an Ivy, a state school, a community college, or becomes a firefighter, chef, policeman, whatever. But I want him to find an interest, and work at pursuing it, and not just do things half-assed and be lazy. [/quote] Oh trust me. It's bothersome and annoying. Moreso early on than now. But he's probably just going to be that kid with the messy dorm room. Then when he's writing the checks for the rent and furniture keeping them orderly will become more important to him. And I consider art an interest. His portfolio has gotten him some pretty generous scholarship money.[/quote]
