About Me
- Barbara
- I am a 45 year old wife, mom of 3 and grandmother to Dylann Rose! Please stop by my blogs often... I have 4 blogs on Blogger. Blog #1 is "Dylann's Nana". If you want to know about my day to day life, stop by here. My #2 blog is my "Aunt Peggy's Recipes" Blog. I am an avid cook and antique lover so what could be better than an old handwritten family recipe book? Aunt Peggy was born and raised in New Hampshire. The recipes will be posted exactly as written, however, I reserve the right to add temperatures and baking times where missing as well as interpret any confusing terminology or steps. Enjoy!!! Blog #3 is my Every Day with Dylann blog. I take tons of pictures of my precious grandbaby, so I need a place to post of picture or 2 every day! Watch her grow with me! My #4 blog is called "Not Just a Farmer's Wife" and it's my old AOL Journal. I began keeping this journal back in 2004 and it's very fun to go back and see what was going on before Dylann, with 2 of my kid still in high school. Check it out if you get bored! It's very entertaining!

This is exactly how my 17 year old son is. A very smart kid...High SAT and ACT scores but has managed over the school year to fail 2 classes. He wont open a book when he gets home from school and we have tried everything to motivate and encourage him to study. Now, we are paying for summer school so he can make up the failed classes. Gotta love em' :)

I would tell him that if he failed the class, that the next time he had to take it..whatever you paid on it would be considered a LOAN from him...Thats rediculous as you say..Thats YOUR MONEY he is trying to throw away....And I would help too, but only when he has done HIS part...And not giving him too many ideas or explanations in the sides of the paper..LOL..;)..Hope you get to feeling better. I know that has got to be stressful. I have had a rough time finishing colege myself..but it's mY student loans that are suffering..lol..so luckily mom doesnt have to go nuts on me..HAHA

Just like when they were toddlers trying to learn to walk......sometimes we have to let them fall in order to learn to stand. Paying for higher education? A priveledge if you can. A responsibility.....no. Perhaps you should come up with a weighted formula for paying for his schooling. The percentages on the grades he recieves this semester will determine the percentage you will pay for next semester. Just a thought. Also, if this is merely a core requirement and not his subject of declared major, perhaps he'll improve when he hits his courses that go directly to his interest. - Barbara
Oh good! I'm not the only one with a smart, high-SAT-scoring son who is now lazy and unmotivated in school! But mine is a FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL! I don't know what has happened to him this year. I hope he MAKES it to college! Good luck with Wes!
