Grades
One of my kids is real lax about grades. The other one is not that way at all....gets A's almost all the time. The other one though has always been very lax. I have tried punishing, shaming, cajoling, rewarding....nothing seems to work. I have come to the place of acceptance, I think, figuring maybe this is just how this one is. Every week I go on-line and print off the grades and assignments missing but I don't say too much more about it. This is a thorn in my flesh. I feel kind of like a failure like maybe I could or should be doing something differently. Anyway....does anyone have any suggestions? I just want to get this one through high school and then probably tech school (I am hoping!). I guess my and my husband's biggest fears are that we both have a brother who is severly unmotivated. That doesn't help!!
