[quote=Anonymous]Our DC could reliably do this all through ES, MS and HS.  We never asked them to do it, it just happened.  One of us was always home but thinking back, we never had to wake either DC.

Now that they are in college, they have "forgotten" how and their GPAs are completely reliant on their morning professors' leniency in giving make up tests and/or having tests scheduled at night not during class hours.

We have been surprised that they have been able to learn the material despite the missed classes, but at some point at least one is likely to run into a prof that will require a doctor's note for a make up.

I think the difference is that while at home we expected them to go bed around 9:30 "on school nights", without electronics, when we did.

I'm sure they read (or occasionally raided the fridge) later than 10 pm but if we heard them up to any extent, they would get questions the next day.

Now in college, they pick their own bed time and their choices are not compatible with getting up when they are supposed to.
