[quote=Anonymous]You need to be honest with yourself -- you're not looking to pull your kid because of their grades, you're looking to pull your kid because you can't afford the school. Stop blaming and scapegoating your kid. They will see through this, I promise you they will, and they will resent you at some level for blaming them when you can't afford it. If as the year progresses they're struggling, then that's a separate issue to be addressed -- do they struggle with executive processing? So they forget about homework or need help being organized? Are they in the wrong level classes? Do they have an unusually strict teacher? Etc. But you need to get really clear about whether you can afford this school or not and address that as the separate issue it is, and not try to make your teenager responsible for your spending decisions. It's your decision not theirs. [/quote]
