[quote=Anonymous]I'd want to know the reason for the D. Is the kid just not good at school? Not everyone can be above-average. Did he just not try in that course? Was the instructor terrible? Was he impared by drug/alcohol use or lack of sleep? Does the student have learning disabilities that are just now becoming a problem as the material becomes more difficult? A tutor would be a reasonable response for a smart, motivated, college-bound kid who was having difficulties with the subject matter. This worked for me for one course in high school that was especially difficult. The parents job is to find out the root cause of this and work to prevent it. Taking away screen time or whatever won't help if the kid is just dumb. A tutor won't help if the kid is on drugs. [/quote]
