[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 38796"] I agree with Linda and Fran. My easy child is the same age as your daughter and I'm dealing with much of the same thing. When he doesn't have junior status next year and has to double up on some courses...such as science and social studies...and miss a study hall and electives in order to try to graduate on time, he'll realize that mom does know a thing or two about what she's talking about. I've done the consequences, I've done the talking, I've done it all. It's up to him to want to do. I can't make him at this age and I can't, and won't, do it for him. It's different in high school. They have to have certain classes and a certain number of credits to graduate. If they fail those classes, they will have to take them or they will not graduate. It's not like middle school where they just keep moving them along regardless. My son didn't pass 7th or 8th grade, but they kept moving him to the next grade anyway, even though I asked them not to. The school said it was too traumatic for children to be held back. Sigh... [/QUOTE]
