[QUOTE="Blueknight, post: 569837, member: 15054"] I think if doing extra chores is on the table, and he doesn't make the gpa limit, you could stick to your guns and make him understand that he has two options to earn money, one is out, so best do more chores. Of course the downside is IF he really is trying hard for the 2.7 and doesn't get it that will be very defeating, emotionally. TeDo's advice would be my personal choice. I mean I don't care if it is a kid or adult, if work said you can make a $1 an hour to be lazy, up to $20 an hour to do an average job, and up to $40 an hour to kick butt, I would be motivated to kick butt! Maybe this will work well for him. The problem with a lot of people is that it is very difficult to invest work into someone that doesn't pay off immediately. It is why I still miss being a waiter and getting instant paychecks for work I was doing. [/QUOTE]
