[quote=Anonymous]It does depend on the reason but it sounds as if the work isn’t being done vs. not understood based on her “I’ll take care of it” answer. I would stop all extracurricular until she “takes care of it.” It is not the teacher’s responsibility to help her put out the fire at this point in the term but you could certainly send a message that you are aware of the issue, have been allowing DD to manage and advocate for herself to this point and that you are aware of the consequences that she hasn’t. Can you see what work has been turned in or not? Perhaps you could ask the teacher to mark what is no longer being accepted so you’ll be able to see when your child has completed the actual requirements to “take care of it.” And yes, remind DD that summer school stinks but is required for failed classes. Even if she pulls her grades up enough to not fail, a low grade may not be enough as a prerequisite for the next level so she may have to repeat the course.[/quote]
