[QUOTE="LostRacer, post: 10666090, member: 44131"] French and English seem to be her achilles heels right now. French she brought up to a C. But her English is hanging by a thread for passing. By looking at her work she missed a big project at the beginning of the semester which hurt her dearly. SHe hasn't recovered from it. Her and I had a pow wow about this yesterday. We have a deal about her school work. I used to ride her about her work all of the time and remembered when I was her age I absolutely hated it and it would irritate me to the point of just not caring. I had to work things differently with her. When I realized what I was doing, we talked about trust and responsibility. As her parent I need to trust her to do what she has to do. When I notice she doesn't, she then loses things such as privileges and toys(ipod, laptop...). We addressed her grades early on in the semester and she has made SOME progress. I feel she can do better. When questionable items come up, we [b]discuss[/b] it. We're looking at summer classes for her and volunteer work to keep her busy and catch her up. I still remember my teenage years like it was yesterday. As scary as that is. With that in mind I take into account the stress, mishaps and misunderstandings I had endured with my mom growing up. It helps me to help my daughter. At the same time if BS is spewed I can quickly decipher that as well :). [/QUOTE]
