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!
