[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. She does have resource and a case manager, though she is very green and neither she nor I are big fans. Her tutor is amazing and will probably continue the SIS program with her. Don’t believe she ever finished it bc she went to the SN school and frankly, I trusted them to remediate this. Oh, how they failed her. I don’t even understand how that can happen. DD is an athlete so that is good and helps her tremendously. It’s been a godsend for her but she’s also terrified bc she knows if her grades don’t come up, she won’t be academically eligible to play and that would devastate her. [/quote] She needs a restart You need. a team meeting at the school do not let them say no. Six weeks in she should not be failing all subjects. Why is she doing sports when she is not passing her classes? Yes she needs help that help should be before sports. What is she going to do play her sport for money when she graduates no she is not. Hence get your priorities in order. She should be at least getting B's and C's not D's and F's. Stop blaming the school she came from. You should have had her tutored over the summer in each subject. And she should not be taking one honors class given where her grades are at this point. She was not ready for HS academically.[/quote] I disagree that she shouldn’t be playing sports! She NEEDS to do the things that bring her joy and help her feel accomplishment and pride. She isn’t going to get that feeling from academics, and she needs a reason to keep showing up to school and doing her very best. I hope she begins to find more success at school with your support and the schools support. Many, many kids have a rough adjustment to high school. Keep up the good fight.[/quote]
