[quote=Anonymous]What grade is your child in, OP? Since this is Earth Science I'm guessing 9th or 10th grade, is that correct? I could have written your post a couple of years ago. Our DD came close to failing several classes and had Cs and Ds in most others. Her test scores were so inconsistent, and especially summatives were usually ghastly. When she did her homework and turned it in on time she was okay, but Edline showed so many 0's because DD just would space out and forget to turn things in. It was bad, but things improved a lot in Jr year. Mostly this was due to her brain maturing, and also we upped her Adderall dose and got her academic coaching. So my advice is let the science grade stand but tackle the larger issue of helping your DD to succeed by putting all of the supports in place that you can. Then take a deep breath and believe that it will probably get much better. Some kids need to fail before they succeed, but most will get there in due time.[/quote]
