[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 325623, member: 1233"] You cannot attend school for her, or put the knowledge into her brain. She has consistently done all she can to not get help, go to tutoring, ask teachers for help. I don't know if she is just very social, or lazy, or whatever. You have really gone above and beyond for a child who's own mother and grandmother do not put a high priority on school. It is time to stand back. Let school take care of school. This is HER job. You have your own job. If flunking is the consequence of not doing homework, then maybe she needs to flunk. It may be the only way she learns this lesson. If you keep helping, bailing her out, she won't NEED to learn to study, or go to tutoring at regularly scheduled times. She will continue to get special help and think it will always be there. This is a time when natural consequences are probably the only thing that will have any impact. [/QUOTE]
