[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 341567, member: 6546"] Hi KTMom-- Yes, difficult child is already working at the lowest level possible. She already changed her program twice in order to get easier and easier requirements. The latest revision planned on difficult child attending the school's vocational program--so that she could graduate with some job training. In order to participate, she has to get a few required courses in now--in 9th and 10th grade. What's completely ridiculous is that difficult child is perfectly capable of graduating at the Honors level. She is failing because she flat out refuses to do the homework. So her grades of 50% are the result of test grades (in the eighties and nineties) being averaged with homework, classwork, and project grades (zeroes). But there's no convincing her that she's going to fail unless she starts doing some school work... Likewise, she cannot imagine that it might be a good idea to have a 'backup plan' in case this little game of hers does not work out the way she thinks. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
