[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 381553, member: 7371"] Glad last night was better. We have struggled with these school issues too. I have finally come to realize that although difficult child absoultely has the intellectual capacity to do well academically, he doesn't always have what it takes emotionally. Consequently, his grades are not the straight A's you would expect from looking at his test scores. I have had to make serious adjustments in my expectations. Not easy. I also have learned to let him experience natural consequences: If he doesn't do the work, he fails. If he doesn't do his share of the work on a group project, he has to deal with unhappy classmates and an unhappy teacher. Again, not easy. You have my empathy. I'm riding that roller coaster with you. [/QUOTE]
