[quote=Anonymous]OP here, I am back. Yup, phone gone and didn't get a dumbphone. MacBook taken too. Made her use the school issued chrome book. No car, had to walk to the bus this morning (the shame!) She was sorry for what she did, but her excuse was she was going to get those grades up by end of marking period anyway, so why worry us. She did, on her own, set up meetings with her counselor and teachers. She seems determined to bail herself out. She is out and about today with no phone and I hope she comes home... I actually mean that.

I'm really angry, and hurt about the lying. I am shocked she didn't think we would know her real grades. I should also add we gave her some tasks where she could have her phone for half of the day (go to gym, clean up kitchen...) yet she has done nothing. Her laziness astounds me. And I realize this is not good college readiness, but making her go to a CC would be a punishment for all of us, and not help anything. She has been admitted by some solid universities too, I should add.

I know my original post was just where to buy a dumbphone, but thought I would just add this too. Thanks for all (well most) of the advice. I mean that. [/quote]
