[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 343083, member: 6546"] UPDATE: So, I contacted difficult child's teacher and found out the following: 1) There is a whole group of students who are being offered this program 2) The Tutoring is primarily to help these kids with "study skills" and "organization" in addition to math (not one-on-one, but they promise the child will get some individual help as needed). 3) difficult child is failing NOT because of any lack of comprehension or organizational issues--she simply refuses to do the work. I also discovered that difficult child herself thought the tutoring was a substitute or a "shortcut" for doing the work. I guess she figured if she went to tutoring she would pass, regardless of anything else. So...with that information in hand, husband and I sat difficult child down and told her we'd be happy to support her in this program and go through the hassle of driving her for the tutoring IF she would give us something in return. husband asked for 30 min of yard work to make up for the thirty minutes of driving each time... Upon hearing this...difficult child got really angry and yelled "[I]If that's how you're gonna be--I might as well just do the homework then[/I]!!!" and she stomped off to her room. So--looks like difficult child intends to start doing her homework...and bring her grades up on her own...just like she should have been doing all along. Boy, she sure showed us!!! :raspberry-tounge: Gotta love it... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
