DD failed some college classes last semester. What do we do as parents?

Here's what you do - you send her into the military or flipping burgers at McDonalds for a few years.

Get a taste of that until she is 20 or 22 and she how hungry she becomes for more education and the ability to make vastly amounts of lifetime income in excess of a high school graduate.

End of story....

I had a little too much fun my first semester of college. My dad told me I had one semester to improve or he was sending me to secretarial school to get some skills. I knew he would not put up with a slacker (my brother slacked off his Freshman year and ended up in the Navy)- I got a 3.6 second semester. We both have multiple degrees now.
