Kids, college, competition

I can't speak to college yet either, but it is never to early to instill a love for learning and good study skills. My son is going into middle school. He has been in SCOPE in elementary (advanced) and has always made honor roll. I have never told him he must make straight A's, but he must make good grades. He is very intelligent and has a lot of potential, but is very lazy. He also has ADHD so I do have to stay on him, help him remember, keep him on schedule, etc. He gets to pick some of his classes for next year and I placed my pick first and his next. I look at it as a springboard to high school. When he reaches high school I want him to be prepared as best he can be. I also want him to take classes in high school to count for college to help with that transition. I don't really have to worry about after school activities because he got burned out on sports earlier and know gaming is is thing, needs the constant stimulation. However, he has learned more than I thought while gaming. Any how, I'm sure that is way more than you wanted, but that is my plan for my son. Of course it may change.
