[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 437464, member: 11791"] For some of these young adults... it takes everything they have to somewhat hold it together all day, every day, and there isn't much left at the end of the day. So, you get passive resistance. (been there done that - again today...) One option is to [U]cut the work load[/U]... as in, take an extra year to graduate. Take 1 course less per semester, and use the "spare" as a homework period... at school, supervised (we call it "resource room" here). With 2 "heavies" (core academics) and 2 "lights" (options or "easy" core depending on the person), one study period usually is enough to keep up. But it pays to balance the heavies... don't do History and Calculus in the same term... unless the student is either a total history buff or a math whiz! This is also an option at most universities and many colleges... its allowed for "normal" kids too - some of them take 80% load so they can work a few extra hours and not go off the rails either academically or financially.
