[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 644671, member: 1550"] Maybe that's it, GM. My son is 37 so this was a long time ago. His principal knew he hated to go to school and had his number that he wasn't sick as often as he said he was. He tried to bribe him to stay in school by promising him he wouldn't force him to take gym in his senior year, which was a HUGE bribe to 37, who loathed gym above everything else. Instead of calling the police, the principal talked to HIM. Why do I feel this was more effective? 37 was definitely a difficult child, yet it worked and he did graduate with an above average GPA, although he didn't try very hard. I think he may have dropped out if they'd tried to force it. This new idea of blaming the parents...I don't care for it, GM. It's nonsense. Nobody can force a grown child, who may be way taller and heavier and stronger than you are, to go ANYWHERE they don't want to go. [/QUOTE]
