[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stand back and let him fail. He can take Algebra 2 in summer school. [b]Some kids need to fail to learn there are consequences to not doing the work. [/b] And you need to figure out what's next. He needs a stupid job so that he can appreciate college before he wastes his time and your money there. [/quote] No one said he's not doing the work. He finds it a difficult subject to understand and a difficult one to get his butt to in the morning. Tutor and addressing organizational issues, but the kid needs to pull his weight. I think letting kids fail is more an approach when a kid [b]can[/b] do something, just chooses to blow it off. If he doesn't manage to get himself to bed, up in the morning, carve out study time at this point, "letting him fail" will just be more discouraging to him. [/quote]
