[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 121014, member: 3444"] We had a similar situation with difficult child 1 last quarter. He got a D- and a D in two classes, and the reason was because he never bothered to study for tests and he somehow was confused about a few assignments that ended up getting missed. Some of it we chalked up to being his first year in middle school. But some of it was sheer lack of interest. He would blow through his homework so he could play video games. That's the part that made me most upset. I felt that regardless of whether he was interested, he still had to study and do his best. He lost the use of ALL video games until the mid-term progress report came out and his grades improved, plus he had to show us that he was working on being more diligent about studying. He was an A/B student in elementary school, but I was willing to accept C's, just not anything less. The loss of that priviledge was painful for him, but he accepted it and knuckled down. Thankfully, it looks like nothing below a C this quarter, and the grades seem to have improved across the board. [/QUOTE]
