I did the same thing with my son. In the end, they end up brighter and more motivated if they understand challenge and accept it.

However, there is a downside for California students. The UC system does not give any credit for honors classes or schools that have a track record for challenging kids.

Admissions is based on a formula utilizing GPA and SAT's. The higher your rank as compared to the applicant pool, the greater the probability of admissions. By discounting the value of hard work, you may have eliminated certain schools on a straight admissions basis.
