[quote=Anonymous]"Let them fail" is not so easy. Esp if the reasons they are "failing" have to do with organization or other reasons not related to ability to do the work. Getting into college is incredibly difficult. It's extremely competitive. A year (and certainly more) of sub-par grades to prove some point, when helping them may have a positive impact, has a more grave consequence than some kids are able to comprehend. So, not helping them (not doing it for them but helping them find out what the obstacles are and offering help to overcome them) is negligent parenting, imo.[/quote]
