[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 99031, member: 1233"] I totally agree that if you decide to let school handle school issues the parent MUST NOT complain about the consequences. When we did it, it was simply because our efforts to support the school were making life at home unbearably dangerous. The teachers were not at fault, not at all. Once my son saw that he would fail, and that failure meant that he could not attend activities like field trips, and that he would be held back, he started to comply, at least enough to pass. When he learned that the fun stuff we did with his grandparents depended on not having bad grades (and grandpa checked this with teachers, rather than with us) things got better. Our decision was simply to stand aside and let teh school handle things. We fully supported ALL of their efforts to helphim, and ALL of the consequences he received. The deal with the grandparents was THEIR decision. NOT ours, but we supported them with it. Susie [/QUOTE]
