[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 396125"] I posted last week that difficult child suddenly wanted to quit orchestra. Just out of the blue, "Hey mom, I want to quit." Huh? Where did that come from? So, after working closely with the guidance counselor at school, difficult child finally admitted to the GC that he got a "really bad grade" (or what difficult child considers to be a really bad grade) on a test in language arts and felt that orchestra lessons were starting to cause problems with his school work. So, the GC and difficult child worked out that difficult child will not have to go to violin lessons during the periods that he has language arts. When lessons fall during those periods, he will not go to the lesson, but at lunch he will eat and then head over to the orchestra room to practice. I am really happy that he made this choice. It was what I had hoped for. If he had insisted that he drop orchestra I was not going to insist that he keep going, but at least he is going to stick with it through the end of the school year.
