| cpt - (Without knowing it) you have nicely encapsulated my educational career -- classic slacker in HS who failed first attempt at college due to no study skills, followed by a couple difficult years of "learning how." With those new skills, UG and Grad School became straightforward. DW and I had no desire to have our kids repeat this experience. And yeah, we probably overdid it. But I'm pretty sure we'll never hear from them "I never knew good grades and good study habits were important." |
