Steelers in '23
Much thanks to everyone!!
I believe the "P" is for pass, like Kath said. Less congrats go to me and more so to the kid who is just smart as hell. I won't claim to be some great parent that sits with him for hours and what not. But I DO make sure things are timely, he does his homework, goes to a good school, gets makeup when out... all the correct things. He took it and is running with it so far. I'm happy, and hopefully it will continue into college.

If the kid is in high school and parents are sitting with him during homework, something is most definitely wrong. LOL! Those days should be over by 4th grade. Kids aren't in AP courses if they don't have some sense of self-discipline.Originally Posted by jimnyc

This is basically what parents need to do. You encourage your kids to get things done and do them in the correct manner. Guidance and participation are the majority of the battle.
It's not just about "being smart." I've seen a lot of smart kids underachieve because they are not properly engaged. Parental guidance is essential.
