[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are WAY too involved in his academics. He's what, a sophomore? He can be managing his own study scheduling. If he doesn't do well, that's on him. Judge him by his results, don't micromanage his studying. Seriously. Take four giant steps backwards.

Plus, he could have gone to that epic game with his dad, a memory he would have had for years. Now he just remembers that you didn't let him go because you didn't like how he was studying. Instead of punishment, you need to apologize.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, he is a sophomore and actually, I'm not involved much at all in his studies. He asked me to help him review yesterday afternoon. The comments about studying over the weekend were just my observation; I said nothing to him about it.

I agree that he missed a wonderful game and I'm very sorry about that. But I didn't tell him he couldn't go because I didn't like how he was studying. It was late in the afternoon and, in asking him questions from the review sheet (which I had not seen until that point), I could tell that he had no idea about a couple of the major concepts.[/quote]

Maybe that is the issue.  He needs more involvement and he's not getting the support at home he needs.[/quote]
