[quote=Anonymous]What is the reason for the 2.6? Honestly not getting the assignment? Lessons build on top of one so if you start falling behind, it gets harder. Is he/ she not turning in assignments?

If your child is not turning in assignments,
Sounds like you are doing plenty. You have a near term problem and a long term problem. Your long term problem (your child won’t be able to manage life) is a much bigger problem than not getting into college this year. If your child doesn’t get in anywhere, you can do some bold moves, like write letters to schools where he is clearly qualified off cycle or take community classes for a semester. It’s not the end of the world. Or like you said, apply to some more places now. The bigger concerning problem is that despite having so much help, he is not doing well. It might be a good lesson to see what life is like when he can’t get a job and have to pay rent. He needs a life lesson and he can’t get it when you are running interference for him at every opportunity.

If he is not understanding things, you will need major tutoring. He will need it in college too. If you fix that, rest will follow.[/quote]
