[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are WAY too involved in his academics. He's what, a sophomore? He can be managing his own study scheduling. If he doesn't do well, that's on him. Judge him by his results, don't micromanage his studying. Seriously. Take four giant steps backwards.

Plus, he could have gone to that epic game with his dad, a memory he would have had for years. Now he just remembers that you didn't let him go because you didn't like how he was studying. Instead of punishment, you need to apologize.[/quote]

This.  Pretty soon, it's going to be hard to force a 15 year old to be home when you want.  You need to start cutting the apron strings.  The rule is home for dinner at x o'clock, that's it.  You don't come home on time, you don't eat tonight.  And everyone is home for the evening by y o'clock.  Grades have to be a B average or whatever in order to continue to have x y z privileges.  Do not micromanage tests, quizes, etc.[/quote]

And then when they don't mean the average? Do you help them with tutors or other support? Or should they have to figure it out all on their own?[/quote]
