[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 241934, member: 1436"] Ropefree, while I understand your frustration with a child not working to potential, I do not understand why you place the blame solely on his teachers and not where it belongs---on your son. He is in high school! At some point, he must take responsibility for his not working up to par. There is not a single thing a teacher can do to make him work at the level he is capable of working if he is not willing to complete his assignments. You continuously talk about how bright and capable he is. Besides belittling his teachers and placing the blame on everyone else, how are you holding him accountable? In several of your posts, to which I haven't responded because of my indignation at your labeling of all educators as idiots, you have placed all blame for any problem your son has had---either behaviorally, socially, or academically on someone else. It is always someone else's fault: another parent, a teacher, a therapist. Your continually blaming your son's issues on others is going to lead to allowing your son to believe, falsely, that everyone else is responsible for whatever his problems in life may be----creating a person who has a victim mentality--- [/QUOTE]
