[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 282677, member: 135"] I think that is the key. As parents, we think we can guide our kids and keep them from making the same mistakes we made or point them in the right direction so they don't make new ones but, ultimately, by the time they are teens, they do what they will do and then we have to let them pay the consequences. We can talk till we drop but it won't help. We can set guidelines and punishments and then it is u[ to us to follow through but sometimes they accept the punishment and still don't remedy the situation. That is their choice and we have to let them live with it. I'm not sure I'd arrange for summer school or anything else. It is her problem; she created it; she should deal with it. As far as PE goes, I was one of those straight A students who hated PE. I think they gave me a D out of the goodness of their hearts. When I got to college I met the requirement by taking bowling for two semesters. I did fail the semester I took lacrosse and field hockey (not my choice of classes). If they thought I was really going to go running up to a ball where people were swinging sticks, they must have thought I was a lot dumber than I was! [/QUOTE]
