[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 146118, member: 1233"] Steely, I am not offended. I appreciate everyone's opinions, support, and perspective. I would have been furious if my dad HAD whipped my son. I agree that it is not appropriate for any grade, and it CERTAINLY would have made my difficult child act even worse. I am more confused by my dad's actions than jealous. What he is saying/doing is so very contrary to his nature that we are wondering if he had a mini-stroke. That is how very different his actions are than his usual. I honestly don't know if my dad is healthy enough to keephandling my difficult child, but dad is determined to have difficult child come back and live with them. My dad has been saying and doing other things that make us wonder, though none are so drastic as his "its ok" attitude toward grades and toward the other things that are going on. Thanks for caring enough to respond, ALL of you. I will let the algebra thing go IF the school knows that it won't keep him out of college. I WANT my difficult child to be able to do the things he wants, including college. Hopefully we can find some way to help difficult child see that his thinking is twisted, and to find a way to help with that. Susie [/QUOTE]
