"A
six-step plan that actually makes sense."
Washington
Post Education Review
Dr.
Sylvia Rimm, nationally known for her work on underachievement,
offers parents and teachers a program to help their academically
underachieving children. Millions of children with average,
above average, or even gifted abilities--including those from
homes where education is valued--do not perform up to their
capabilities. This is what Dr. Rimm calls underachievement
syndrome.Why
Bright Kids Get Poor Grades offers desperately needed help
for the parents of underachieving children. Drawing on both
clinical research and years of experience working with families,
Dr. Rimm has developed a "trifocal model" for dealing
with the problem; parents and teachers work together to get
the students back on track. Dr.
Rimm presents her practical and specific strategies for dealing
with underachievement in a direct, down-to-earth style, using
plenty of examples and anecdotes to show how effective her
approach can be.

Comments about
Why Bright Kids Get Poor Grades:
"I
simply want to thank you for sharing your life's work in the
area of underachievement. I stumbled upon Why Bright Kids
Get Poor Grades as I was desperately trying to discover other
dimensions and clues to our 11-year-old son's academic struggles.
Although he was diagnosed with ADD almost three years ago
and has been afforded additional adaptive learning styles
and tutoring, underachievement was never mentioned. Had I
not embarked on this little research project independently,
I would never have discovered this important area of study.
Some of your descriptions and quotations in the book gave
me chills, since we had heard some of the same things from
our son verbatim!! Thank you for giving me a trail to follow
and the vital information needed to help him be a success.
The greatest gift we can give him is self-confidence and self-reliance.
Your work has helped clarify methods to use to allow him to
believe in himself. Thank
you again"
