[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parents see report cards and as long as those are good, they don't care what their kids do. That's how it was when I was a kid.[/quote]
eh. I care, but I can no longer really control my college bound senior. Straight As without trying too hard.  Sometimes DC will skip class if they aren't learning anything new.

After AP/IB exams, they said they aren't going to class anymore. For the most part, those classes stop teaching new material after the May exams.

Prior to senior year, yes, I make my kids go. [/quote]

My kid is at a private school. If he skips class, he gets detention. If he skips that, he won’t graduate with his class. Talk about motivating!

Haha get real.  I went to private school.  There is still plenty of skipping class going on.  Not to mention when teachers were out after Freshman year you got a free period to do with as you choose.  The motivation to go to class is because there are a lot less students so it’s more noticeable when you’re missing(depending on teacher and where you usually sit).  Oh, and you go to class because you want to graduate and parental expectation.  No different than what goes on in public school.

Then you get to college and everyone chooses when they are going to class anyway.[/quote]
