[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 633432, member: 4152"] That is a tough call; but you are certainly looking out for her. She was messing up at school in a major way.Will you or someone else be able to at least partially monitor her schooling? Do you have the ability to pay for a tutor if necessary? It's concerning that she isn't at least partially buying into schooling on line. What might you do to sweeten this pot? What does she like to do? Interests? Maybe for any A's on major tests, she can be rewarded with something...movie tickets, gift certificate to McDonalds. You can encourage her to have any of her nice friends over on the weekends. Also, it would be nice if she could see the advantages of on line schooling...maybe more flexible hours, etc. Sounds like some parameters need to be set, as doing this will require discipline and self motivation. If all goes well, might it be a good idea for her to back to her school next year? Ya know, she might not even want to. Don't overly concern yourself with her fretting as the truth is you are doing your best for her to get a good education and she needs to put some effort into that too. [/QUOTE]
