[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Nevermind.

I'm not sure why I asked anyway. Are there no families left who demand better and punish when they don't get better? It's not me. It's not the teacher. It's not a B. It's not doing right and sitting in the consequence so that it doesn't happen again.

Yes, things are better now. And there was outside play and a clean room this afternoon instead of iPad and mind numbing game time on some screen this afternoon.

Low scores, high potential, all resources in place, kid doesn't do right, punishment. The end.

I was seeking the answer to what you do at your house. Post that? Does anyone have a comment about that? [/quote]

As a teenager if I had an average that was less than an A, I was grounded until the next quarter and my grades went up. I never found out what the consequence was if they didn't go up, because I always pulled them up. I was allowed to do my sport activity (I only did one sport at a time, nothing like soccer, and dance, and this that and the other all at once). Part of that reasoning is that my sport was what got me a scholarship and also that it's not right to punish/hurt my team because I didn't do well off then field. Grounding was no phone, no computer, no social activites. I would cry, but it worked. don't coddle your kid. There's no excuse for terrible grades. [/quote]
