"not living up to his (her) potential" - cheap shot
to inflict guilt.
I really dislike this one, as it makes little sense.
As a parent, I really don't want my child living up
to his/her potential while in school. I want them
to keep some in reserve for later.

| I think these phrases are invented by teachers to break the
news to parents that their offspring are not the impeccably behaved
genii they might have imagined. And also to avoid the punch in the face
on parents' evening that might follow to forthright an appraisal.
Richard. (Whose wife is a teacher, and says parental stroppiness is
proportional to income times the sqwuare of the thickness of their
offspring plus the the opinion they hold (on a scale of one to ten)
with an additional factor related to whether the husband has had a
vasectomy and regrets not being able to beget a brighter one).
