<p>abmnji: My DS on the other hand, does not care about grades as long as he passes. He just started high school and something tells me it is going to be a long 4 years. I hope I am wrong. </p>
<p>Yes, it will be a long 4 years, I can vouch for that! My DS was exactly the same way, always did just enough to get by. Somehow he ended up with a 3.5 GPA and is now in his freshman year at a nice state school.</p>
