I meant to add. When he is studying, it is NOT with the intent of getting an A. It is simply with the intent of basic mastery of the material. The tests have been incredibly random and very hard. There is no way he could be doing less work and just accepting a B. Less work would most likely be a failing grade. He is just lucky that he can get an A with what I consider the bare minimum amount of work. Because he is a varsity athlete and a day student I am able in enforce a much earlier bed time than most of his peers who are staying up much later.
But again, I read all the replies to the other thread and honestly have no interest in repeating the “you should calm down, you just don’t understand” posts.
