[quote=Anonymous]Not from the DC area, but was wondering what you guys would do in this situation (there's no website like this for my area :()

there's a class that is required for grade 10 students to take that is necessary for graduation. the school offered kids to take it online before the grade 10 year so my DD took it online. She barely passed the class, 2% away from failing.  She didn't hand in a majority of the assignments, but the ones she did hand in were A's and high B's. I know my DD and she gets great grades when she tries and when it's a class she likes, but she didn't care for the required class, said it was a waste of time, didn't learn anything etc.

She's a great student otherwise and I know this class doesn't count for universities, isn't included for her GPA, but still. I honestly don't know how to react. I'm just disappointed. i don't know if you get where i'm coming from, but I just thought she would try harder. This is also the first time i've kind of backed off, usually i check the online gradebook every week to see the status, but this time I thought she was old enough and mature enough to handle this on her own

What would you guys do? Would punishment help, and if so what kind of punishment? I hope I didn't sound like a mess, I just don't really know what to do. 
thanks [/quote]
