Its not that. The kid still has him mom's titty in his mouth and has been coddled. Anytime something negative has come up at school, mom has come in and swooped him out of trouble.

This is the norm of suburbia unfortunately which is the opposite for kids from poor homes who do not have parents. Too many parents want to be their kids friend. News flash, the kids already has friends. You, as a parent, should too, and they shouldn't be children. Very soon, these parents will have 30 years old living in their house with no job or skill set what so ever. Then, the parents will want to know where they went wrong.

In the case of your nephew, he may be a poor test taker, a moron, or a pussy. The latter is the most likely, because ACT style tests put pressure on the test taker, and this kid has never had to face up to pressure.
