[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't micromanage my kids' school work but if grades are falling and work isnt' getting done, they will have consequences. IMO, school is their job and I am their boss. If they can do quality work and get the results I expect, then I'll be as hands-off as I can. If they aren't getting is done, I will supervise more to the extent necessary. My job is to teach them good habits and to take responsibility and set priorities. They need guidance and structure to do that. Once they get it, I can back off again. [/quote] Yes, the consequences are: you won’t get into a decent college. You may go to community college (which is fine, but probably not their preference). And if their laziness continues, they won’t be successful in their adult/professional life. That is the consequence. As a parent, I tell my kids this. There is no back up in life. They don’t have to be straight A’s, but do your best work. [/quote]
