<p>“There is a philosophy behind EQ, and how EQ affects your performance. You can google it if you want.”</p>
<p>Thank you, I will. I am a Psychiatrist, but never thought of EQ that way.</p>
<p>Obviously I am asking about my son, and not myself, although interestingly enough, we had the same SAT reasoning Math score ( a little less than 650). Of course mine was a long time ago, so I can’t really put it in context, but I somehow got through a science major and medical school. It DID require me to really buckle down, perhaps for the first time, but retrospectively at least, school was WAY better than “real life”!</p>
<p>My son, and our community, is very different from the CC community. He is not well prepared to compete with these CC kids, and I really don’t want him to hate his education, but I also figure he has more potential than he has reached in his school. He has never taken an honors class ( not offered), and will take his first AP’s this year ( they offer about 6, but you have to have been on track since 7 th grade to get one by junior year. He will take subject tests this fall; not that common among his peers, and we will see! </p>
<p>Thanks for your input! BTW, what is your frame of reference?</p>
