my son does not study at all?

my bf's like that also. he never studies at home (he just sticks his butt in front of his computer lol) or even in school during our exams and he always gets the top score whenever our teacher gives us the results. i'm so proud of him. he's got a good memory that's why he never studies at all lol you should keep it that way. be proud of his marks, i know that he would get motivated more if he knows that you're really proud of him. i know that your son got a good memory also. if you see that he's getting failing grades then that's the time that you should talk to him

Its really great that your son can get good marks without studying however this is a bad habit i strongly suggest he break. When college time rolls around hes not going to have such an easy time no matter what courses hes taking. He is going to have to learn to work and work hard if he wishes to excel in college to the same degree he worked in high school. Not only will studying help his marks and prepare him for his future studying but a good work ethic never hurt anyone.

Hi, You need not bother much if he is very young but you have to encourage him to sit and study more at home. He can get good grades when he is young just by listening and being attentive in class. That will not be enough when he grows up. Encourage him to sit and work out projects in the computer. Encourage him to do tests online, get help also if necessary for doing them etc. You can see the five points you have to look out for his getting high grades in his future studies. http://www.helium.com/items/577442-article-explain-success-marks

You should talk to him.Ask him what he feels about the school study.If he really grasp the knowledge which taucht in school,maybe it is not bad for him to do something else at home.Because you have to know,what we learn at school is not enough...

your son is superb.. lol. kidding aside, only few kids are like your son. he must be a very good listener and has a very good memory..

then your son is superb. hehe.. kidding aside, only few kids are like your son. he must be a very good listener and a very good memory..

He probably has a good memory and remembers many things. You could ask him regarding studying. Perhaps he does it at school. What are his marks? Are you satisfied with them? Can he apply the knowledge to other parts of his life then he is actually learning the material. Do you know if he is cheating on his exams? Perhaps you should talk to him, but you don't have to be rude or mean. Just talk and let him talk and you listen. Ask him about how he keeps such good grades without studying, and tell him you are concerned about him. Pablo

at first we should get an essential knowledge of school education. School education is to teach students some basic common sense. And for those points, students should know clearly most of them but their marks should not be the best group, just the better group is ok. In my mind, if students can seize those points easily, then he can do something else to expand their thought or experience, which would be a good help to their future. And things that learned outside school are the real points to compete.

Hi goergineo, That's wonderful and you should be proud. As for telling him to actually start studying or not, I can't give you advice there. I am currently young myself but when I was going through pre-school I was made to study by my parents (but who isn't! we have to learn to read and write) okay so on to elementary school...I truly can't remember if I was made to study but I had made my own study plan for when my big test was coming up to see which high school I would be going to. In high school I very rarely studied because I feel like I learned everything I needed to know by simply paying attention. This applied most to science for me. I once even studied while playing video games (yes you read right!) I even got the top score in my class for that test too. My dad has saw me using that technique and wondered if I was really studying. I'd say he probably learns best by listening and seeing the teacher explain on the chalkboards rather than needing to study, Each person is unique like that. SO personally I wouldn't worry for a little while.

Well, maybe he is studying but you are not seeing it. My brother is like that, he gets high grade but I never really see him study... He usually stay at the campus then go to library and study there.. then at home, he will just watch movies and play in the internet. I think your son may just have balanced his time especially in studying.

Through high school I never studied and did pretty good on tests mainly because I paid attention. I never even took notes. However, college will be hard for him if he doesn't learn how to study, at least it was for me.

Your son has very good memory. If he listens what the teacher says on the lessons and this is enough for him to have good marks, then everything is fine. However, it will make sense to talk to him about the school programme, what do they study there, and probably to talk about some extra information regarding the topic they are currently studying. You can offer something to him to read, so he will know more than required and it will be better for him and you will know that he is studying.
