<p>It’s often irritating to watch an able, talented kid rush through homework or assignments using on a teeny fraction of his brain power and little effort when you know that he could do so much better. It has been a burr in my craw for a long time. But then I don’t always do my 100% on routine stuff either. You just hope that there is enough juice in them kids that they can rev it up when the time comes to do so.</p>
