[quote=Anonymous]+1 to all the 'get a grip' / 'this isn't the end of the world or his college hopes' comments. Time for your son to step up and take some responsibility. He should request a meeting with the teacher (no parents!). Own up to what he did wrong -- missed assignments, late homework, whatever. Say that he knows his work so far is what earned him the D, but he wants to turn it around for the second semester, and what can he do moving forward. And accept the consequences whatever it may be. This is good practice for the working world -- everyone has issues at some point that cause their performance to slip. It's acknowledging it & recovering that matters.[/quote]
