[QUOTE="klmno, post: 481714, member: 3699"] We tried meeting like that with my son when he was finishing his freshman year, after just being released from Department of Juvenile Justice the first time. We all sat down for the meeting and the GC called to get difficult child out of class to join us. He wasn't there. Turns out he was going to first period where attendance is taken, then skipping the rest of the school day. THAT was the bigger cause of his failing grades. Many of these difficult children have good ability but not good enough self-discipline in high school to do what it takes to keep good grades when they have the new-found freedoms of HS. Good luck at the meeting- I hope it helps her wake up and realize that she needs to make some choices- these are the natural consequences. [/QUOTE]
