I remember being pretty "ho-hum" before high school.

She's doing more that I ever did. I mostly just read and played computer games at that age. I don't think my parents knew what to do with me.

In high school I was excessively hypercometitive. But that was because i wanted to "win" (meaning graduate first in my class). That one goal I don't recommend pursuing. That was learning the material to outscore my opponents.

I'm not sure I'd care too much, or be concerened too much, about LOG.

I'm having the same "can't be bothered" problem with my daughter right now. However, I'm not too concerend about that. Basically because doing well in school never really got me anywhere, so I consider formal education to be somewhat of a joke.

I needed the social and life skills more than I needed academic achievement. Of course, I never did get to the point where I learned the work habits/trying hard to achieve a goal. I'm not sure how you get kids to learn that because I have no idea myself.
