Ohh and you need to get a few bad grades once in a while just to keep your parent's expectations in line. Namely, you are not perfect. Even if you are capable of getting consistently A grades, don't. That'll spoil the parents, nad we can't have that.
Just once in a wihle, get a few answers wrong, get a B+ once in a wihle and let them know. And it's all good. Because invariably, you will run up against a class where you can't get an A in. They need to be prepared for that eventuality, that you are not infallible and brilliant.
I didn't think that strategically while I was in high school. So when I got to college, my parents were shocked that I didn't get straight As.. LOL. It took a good 2 years before they accepted the fact that I'm not some kind of genius.
