[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all.  I will ask the counselor.

He has a 3.6 GPA but just stopped doing work this year.  He doesn't have an IEP or 504. He doesn't need a tutor; now that he's actually doing the work, he's getting decent grades. I just think it's too late for this quarter.

We rent and our lease is up in June. I don't think we will stay in the county and I wasn't sure whether summer school would work.  I didn't know about OPTG - I will ask about that.

Thank you.

If he just stopped doing work, then you should remove and erase all privileges. You’re the parent, crack down.[/quote]

Also, please reconsider your parenting practices. The question should not be how do “I dig my kid out.” Your kid dug this hole. He will either dig himself out or learn a very hard (and valuable) lesson that people who don’t work for something don’t get rewarded. It’s almost impossible (unless it’s like a AP class or something) for kids to fail in MCPS if they are doing the bare minimum. I’m pretty sure I would get fired if I had “work avoidance.” Same thing for school. Stop trying to save your kid. They are almost an adult and need to face the music. [/quote]
