Going back to my reply I was very worried my son would feel pressured into overachivement when I sent him to a private school this year but fortunally he seems to be an underachiver like his dad

Underachievers may be late developers. I left school with nothing. Not one piece of paper to say I was good at anything. Most of my teachers told me that I would amount to nothing. In front of the whole class (I was not the only one to get such kind words from such wonderful teachers in front of the class)
I went to University aged 32 and got a good degree (top 10%)-which was far more than the greater majority of my teachers ever had!
