[QUOTE="donna723, post: 196102, member: 1883"] I don't know ... I tend to agree with MB. If it was me, I'd make those car keys disappear and they'd [I]stay[/I] disappeared until the grades came up to an acceptable level! When mine were in high school, if the grades were bad, they not only didn't drive, their young hineys were firmly [I]grounded[/I] until the next report card came out - since they obviously needed to spend more time studying and less time running around! I was one of those MEAN mamas! It would be different if she were really trying and struggling and still just missed getting a passing grade, but I have no idea how you can get an "F-" in a class! Is there anything lower than a "Zero"? An F- has to be doing absolutely nothing! Having a car and being able to drive to school at 17 is a [I]privilege[/I] that they should earn, it's not a [I]right[/I]. A little while riding a school bus might be enough to get the message across. If she's not sure what those large, yellow, cracker-box shaped vehicles are, have her watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" a time or two! [/QUOTE]
