[quote=Alibaba]I have always assumed my kids would go to college. My oldest is a junior in college now.

I also have a junior in high school who shows very little interest in doing well in school. She's damn smart too.

She doesn't do homework and doesn't study for tests. She does well when she likes the teacher or it's a subject she likes. She gets As and Bs when she applies herself. Cs and Ds when she doesn't. Even the occasional F.

She is in a private school now. She's been diagnosed with adhd and executive functioning disorder but in reality her teachers and tutors have told me that she knows what to do but she is just not doing it. She prioritized her social life above all else.

I am at a loss about how to approach college with her. If she does this while under my roof I can't image what she will be like in a dorm room with no parental supervision. I don't want to deprive her of a college experience or the advantages that college will give her in life. I feel like she is not mature enough for that step yet.

Has anyone had something similar happen? Need advice. [/quote]
