[quote=Anonymous]OP, what I would encourage you to think about is whether it makes sense for you to react so strongly to this C, which appears to arise from a lack of effort combined with irresponsibility, when you haven't reacted in a similar way (or on a sliding scale) to all the other B-s your kid has gotten, which seem to have come from the same thing. A lot of us are advising you that we would focus on process, not the result. While you don't want advice, nonetheless it is something to think about, as you are evaluating the best way forward for your family. If my kid was consistently getting B's without effort and not following through on assignments, that would get a reaction from me, because what I expect and want to incentivize is the process -- trying, putting in effort, striving for a personal best, etc. In that context, the 9 week phone suspension for a C seems like a lot, when your kid has exhibited what seems to be similar behavior with no consequences.
