[QUOTE="C.J., post: 263861, member: 1987"] Here's something I learned from the "Love and Logic" series that was some of the best money I ever spent: Child: "My homework is done. I don't need to study for the math test. My science project isn't due for three more weeks. There's only one F on my progress report, I can bring up my grade by the end of the semester. WHAT! They failed me - those teachers lost all my homework. There were "trick" questions on that test. I DID TO put in a lot of thought on that science project! Blah blah blah..." Parent: "Good news! The school will be having classes for your grade again next year!" At some point, especially by the time any of our kids are in high school, the responsibility must shift from teachers and parents to the teenage student. We need to provide the opportunity and support for the education, while the teenage student must provide the willingness to do the work. Detachment here works wonders, too. [/QUOTE]
