[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The punishment doesn’t have to directly correlate.

If she wants privileges back [b]she’ll step it up[/b] in that class.

DH is right.[/quote]

What if it's not just a matter of effort? I get you. My parents were like that. But they also felt that some people were stupid and that if they couldn't do any better than that's the life they were meant to have. Fatalism as its best.

Maybe parenting has gotten better over the decades.[/quote]

If[b] it’s not a matter of effort than a discussion needs to happen and tools[/b] provided whether it be within the school or outside of it (i.e. a tutor). 
If she’s doing her best and still no improvement, I imagine she’ll say that and then parents can step in.
Parents can also initiate the conversation but simply saying the punishment is “unfair” isn’t right either.

We don’t know and it depends. 
Actions or lack thereof have consequences and if she isn’t putting in the effort hobbies and what not should be reduced.[/quote]

Yes, you are right and are therefore agreeing with me and many other posters. Her process of studying needs to be looked into. Not just off the cuff threats to "study harder." For a kid who is not doing well. OP has in no way said whether this conversation has taken place, just thst DH is just threatening to cut off some of the kid's activities which he was not bothered by before her bad grade. Look into why this is occurring. Then support or restrict as needed.
