[quote=Anonymous]DD 9th grade has not been working to her fullest potential this school year.  Currently her GPA has dipped under a 3.0 (this has NEVER happened before).  I want to give her fair warning that if she receives anything lower than a B (80) on any final exam then there will be some sort of consequence.  The problem is I just don't know what to do.  Our summer is pretty much mapped out with planned/paid for International travel and her summer job (DC summer jobs program, which I need for her to do because it will help me financially).  I don't want to be too harsh but I need her to understand that I am disappointed in her performance this school year (I've already said it), and I need her to finish strong.  Rather than waiting for the grades should I say that from now until finals I expect her to devote all her time to studying and take away all electronics?  If I know that she really studied and put the time in then it would be harder for me to punish for a grade less than a B (which she is more than capable of getting).  Advice welcomed.  TIA!![/quote]
