Authors, drawing on some 25 years of profession engagement, identify 6 typical underacheiver profiles and dispell myths driving concerned parents to jump to "pushing" or "rewarding" solutions. They are: 1, Coasters, or ultimate procrastinators, who are the most frequent; 2, Anxious Underacheivers, who want to do better but are too tense and uptight; 3, Indentity-Searchers, who are distracted from all other concerns; 4, Wheeler-Dealers, who are impulsive, manipulative, and so self-seeking and bent on instant gratification that schooling is of no value; 5, Sad Underacheivers, who are handicapped by depression and difficultiy in making decisions with no energy left for school; and 6, Defiant Underacheivers, whose poor performance is an act of rebellion. 291 pgs; 9 chapters. An enlightening dialogue.
