Mark it depends on the child, mostly I will say yes. I am home schooling two teenagers right now. One can finish a weeks curriculum in in a matter of hours. The other stays ahead but struggles in some areas. For one it is a breeze, for the other it is a real testimony to his determination.
When it comes to a good job a good education cannot be beaten. Particularly high school grades can mean a good deal as far as scholarship and other opportunities.
With all that being said I am most pleased when my kids are putting forth a real effort no matter how well it comes out. Each child has different gifts and each should know that they have love and support no matter what.
