[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I knew many "average" people in high school and your son is not one of them. "Lazy" is normal for a teenage boy talented or not. [b]Average is NOT getting into the state school of your choosing, certainly not getting into Penn State and paying full tuition.

It sounds like your son is definitely above average but with little to no work ethic. That's more worrisome than an average student with a hard work ethic. [/quote]

Okay, so your point is well taken. Hanging around these boards and boards like College Confidential :roll: during the application process left me a bit jaded. It seemed that either children are driven or their parents are pushing them to be driven. My family didn't fall into either category. And I realized I was okay with that. I decided I'd rather have the kid who makes B's, isn't stressed out but enjoys the hell out of his teenage years.

And I stand corrected. I was jaded enough to believe that these days state schools is where the 'average' kids go. And that everyone else went ivy. :lol:
