[quote=Anonymous]She isn’t getting bad grades because she’s a Marxist. She’s getting bad grades because school is boring and meaningless as can be for many kids, and/or because she is struggling (learning issue, mental health).

My kid is not a Marxist, is smart, has a learning issue, and gets poor grades because he just can’t bring himself to put in enough effort to do better, because he can’t see why it all matters. Intellectually he gets it, but it’s not visceral enough to help. Your daughter can say she is opting out, but if she enjoyed school and school work she wouldn’t opt out.

I’ve found I can’t motivate my son, to be honest. His grades come up when he decides they matter enough. That usually coincides with having a teacher he really likes and material he connects to.

He’s 17 and he won’t be going to Yale, or even UMD. I didn’t get that, and wasn’t okay with that, when he was 14. At 17 I am much more at peace with him being his own person, and trusting he’ll find his own path.[/quote]
