[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, you have a very limited view of the world if this is your fear. There are lots of jobs and lots of ways to live a happy life that don't involve a top tier 4 year college.[/b]

If her teachers are always worried about her, take her for a full evaluation with a private psychologist. She may ADHD or a learning disability and interventions for those can be really helpful. Also, you need some support and education yourself. It will be unbelievable harmful to your daughter if she ever understands that you sit around thinking about her in this way. "a person like her." Seriously, get a grip.[/quote]

This really isn't so much about grades or a top tier college.  Or even necessarily college at all.  My absolute biggest fear is that she will not be able to hold down a job. It's difficult to explain, but it's not just that she struggles in school.  She is impacted in ways that make it really hard for me to imagine her being a good employee.  I can see her being able to hold down a job such as a daycare worker, but that is not a livable income.  She doesn't need to make a lot, but I would like to hope that she can hold down a job where she is at least capable of supporting herself. [/quote]
