Like so many things, you get what you put into it. Our kids have a good home with what I think are normal parents (they may disagree...), but they've done well when they were homeschooled and when they moved on. Our daughter is in the top 10 of her class of 600 taking all honors classes and some AP classes. She has never gotten below and "A" until this past semester when she got just got a "B' in her AP class. She was not happy. The general population (GC) kids are the one's dragging behind. Our son gets A and B's as well. Homeschooing didn't hurt them.

Sounds like "Austin" has issues due to his parents style of parenting.
