[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC will be 17. For years it has been a struggle to get her to study. Now in HS has a C+ average and poor test scores. Yet, she is very articulate and was an early word learner. It just kills me because I come from a family that puts tremendous significance on academics. Dreamed of someday taking her to visit colleges and now the future looks like community college if even that. I fear that DC is going to spend a life in low paying service jobs. Is t hopeless? Do kids often start findfing themselves in their 20s?[/quote] Two words - GAP YEAR. She needs to find her calling - and it may not be hard-core academia. Maybe she wants to be a stylist, or a park ranger or something else, but has been focused on the traditional learning that can be stultifying - let her see what's out there for a year, then see if she's still rudderless.[/quote]
