We also have a 13yr old son. Expectations for both of them are the same. Find your passion, work hard and don't get hung up on the details. We don't require or expect straight A's or anything along those lines. We expect them to do their best, know that asking others for help is healthy and expected. We also tell them that school isn't the most important thing (it's up there at this stage of their life), but they do need to balance it with social and life activities. Balancing these activities, is a driver behind why we haven't used dance as a "corrective lever" with her.
Rusty - I haven't done the "full math" with her, but I've tried to explain the cost of living. It may be worth a revisit.
