I don't understand teenagers

I am really struggling with my 15 year old. He is in 10th grade and he was starting out good with doing his work I mean it has only been 4 weeks. But now I finally was able to get on the new grading system for the parents and he is failing one class and has a D in the other. We have talked and he says oh I going to do great I am going to get all A's and B's you know I can even handle a C but after last year when he almost failed I am not tolerating it at all and I am nipping it in the bud now. But how do you get this child to understand just because you are doing your homework or classwork if you do it half fast it is not going to work you will get bad grades. I don't know I just don't get it he asks like since he didn't lie to me and he did all his work and their are no zeros then he should be punished. But he did his work but he only got like one or two points out of 10 or 7 because he didn't do it right.

So at this point he has lost all privileges until his grades are back up to at least a C because I told him at the end of last year that we will not go through another year with all D's and F's He was warned already C's and above. I know he can do it I am not asking to much he is a very smart child he use to do it so I am not asking to much.

So if anyone has any suggestions since we are only in the first couple weeks of school I would greatly appreciate it!

I hope everyone has a Great day!

They are all in school

My children are all in school full day now gosh I don't know what to do with myself sometimes I am going to be looking for a part time job while they are in school but right now I have been going through every room in my house one everyday to get them straightened out and organized first then I will be ready to start a job. My house got so cluttered through the summer from being so busy with the kids and swimming almost everyday and playing and doing different activities.

My oldest son is in 10th grade and he is playing JV football for the school he really likes and the coaches say he has alot of speed so that will be a good thing for him.

My middle one is in 3rd grade he is my pip he is so easy going most of time he has his moments, but he likes school still and he enjoys talking to everyone!

My little princess is in 1st grade she had a rough first day of school only because is was the first all day school day she came home exhausted she ended starting to fall asleep around 6 and I had to get her outside because I didn't want her falling asleep so early. She is doing good now she goes to bed by 8-8:15 and is a sleep in minutes.

I miss them all but Brooklynn was here 1/2 a day last year by herself so I miss my mommy and me time with her.

But I am getting alot done!!!!


Have a great day!!!
