Academically Spoiled Parents

<p>He does seem to do better on multiple choice tests but that’s not the whole story, as even there he is inconsistent. I don’t think it is boredom. Some of it has been diligence and care on assignments, but he is pretty random on tests too-he got a B in his calc final but a 5 on the BC exam, 5 in AP Bio buy 720 on the Bio Sat-2. I think part of it is not reading instructions carefully (on both assignments and tests), related to this is not seeing what he needs to study to be ready for a test. The one place I see boredom coming into it is his resistance to using flash cards for French or doing other sorts of memory drills- though he does have a good memory for game rules, stories, etc.</p>
