[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My senior says “I came this far, I’m not screwing it up now.”   It’s clear that DL is causing mental and physical strain, though, so without that motivation, I’m fairly certain that I would be seeing a lot less effort at this point. [/quote]
That's an interesting take! My senior is still working, but she's got her college now so there is less stress AND less motivation.  Her last essay was done the night before and it basically was a rough draft.

The thing that's really bothering me is that her school has just opened up to optional in-person; one grade per day.  So seniors would go every few days.  Although she is not scared of covid, DD will not go.  At first I was worked up about it, but the school had pitched it as a pre-spring-break trial, so I decided not to worry about it.  But the last couple of days, she said that she's not going back at all.  So I really can't figure out if this doesn't matter and her focus is turning away from high school and toward summer and college, or if this is indicative of lack of stepping up and getting out there that might continue on at college. (any of your thoughts on this are welcome)[/quote]
