[QUOTE="busywend, post: 205176, member: 391"] I hear ya. I have basically watched my difficult child underperform her capabilities her entire school career. At least at the school she is at now - they see it, too. But, you can't pick up the pencil and put it in their hands. They have to want it, too. My difficult child never did - maybe she does this year. A bit too late, in my humble opinion. She is a senior. How many people do you know that did not go to college? Or perhaps pursued college as an adult? I expect that is what my difficult child will end up doing. She just is not a good student at this age. I bet she will be a fabulous student when she is 25. It really does not pay to stress yourself out about it. Once I figured out that I had tried everything to get her performing to her ability in school...I stopped worrying about it. [/QUOTE]
