[quote=Anonymous]I think it all comes down to...are they trying their best? If they are, and those are their grades, for god sake don't pull them out. It sends a horrible message that you don't think their best is good enough. It is to the university since those are still diploma-level grades. If on the other hand they have those grades because they're blowing off studying and turning in work, it's time to knuckle under and change their work habits at school, and a conversation about doing so. The exact thing happened to me. Studied hard in high school and had a high GPA, got to college and had fun freshman year. Didn't do so hot grade-wise, partly because of partying and partly because of diploma requirement classes that weren't my strength (2.5GPA). My parents had a time-to-knuckle-down conversation with me and moving forward I was more serious about classes. Graduated almost cum laude overall and 3.8 in major-related classes. [/quote]
