[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 648089, member: 15810"] Ugh! I don't know what happened to my bright student, but I'm losing my patience with Difficult Child. He's been saying all year that his math teacher stinks, and he definitely is doing far worse in math this year than he has in the past. Report cards were posted to the parent portal and I looked. He got a 41 on his math mid term! A 41!! In an honors math class. And in two classes, one of which was math, and the other is honors AP World History, the comments were "performance declining. Missing homework." I confront him about it, but the teachers are "lying." There is no missing homework, and he got a 41 because the teacher is so bad. Then he tells me that he's changed his mind and doesn't want to go away to college. He wants to go, but wants to live home. With me. I never thought I would say this to a child, but I told him that he needs to go away. Even my husband agrees with me, and he never agrees with me about anything when it comes to Difficult Child. If he wants to go somewhere local, that's fine, but he needs to dorm there. The rest of us have earned a chance at a "normal" life (whatever that is) and that starts with him going away to school. Two more years. Two more years. Two more years... [/QUOTE]
