[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior and he will have at least one D on his report card (final). The rest will be B's and C's. All IB classes. SATs are above 2K. He just sucks at school and it has been hard for the family. One more year left and I am wondering about college. Do you know of any VA colleges that will take someone with grades like this?
We are considering NVCC for a year or two and transferring. I know someone whose kid got into Radford and had pretty poor grades.[/quote]

You sound like a caricature of a horrible parent.  Almost everything you write betrays a lack of parenting skills.

If DS "sucks at school," it's harder for him than it is for you.  Do you think he doesn't get that you want him to be someone else?  How about considering some Academy courses rather than piling on more IB classes, which require students to write volumes of largely meaningless crap in any event.  [/quote]

Why so nasty? It's hard having a smart kid who won't work hard and/or do homework. I know, I've got one. I wish my kid didn't suck at school, too. I don't want him to be someone else I just want him to do his homework, turn it in and study for tests. If he still did badly while working at it, that would be ok, but it's not ok to blow off homework and studying.[/quote]
