When I was little I struggled in school to get C's. I was in trouble for fighting all the time. Teachers could not make me sit down and listen in class. They told my parents I would end up dead or in prison. My brother was doing 3rd grade work in kindergarten. He was on the honor roll every semester of his entire accedemic career. He was on the National Honor society and the Who's Who of High School Students. Today, I have a degree in Paramedic Science from the biggest medical school in my state and am working on a degree in Nursing. He got a degree in Comparative Literature from a prestigious school in Chicago and is a secretary. We both went to school and are successful in our careers despite the dire predictions of my teachers. You can't predict a child's future life and career path based on what they do as children. They will find thier own way in thier own time. That's my experience anyway.
