Can you expand on that.
I can make my kids go to school.
I can help them with their homework.
I Can get them tutoring.
I can take them to specialty learning centers.
I can get them help with any learning disabilities.
I can give them all the tools they need to succeed.
But in the end, it's the education that is responsible.
They even say so. They claim to be co-parents.
and i'm sure they believe that, it sounds good anyway, but they aren't, they are teachers.
if you have given them all the tools they needed, you are a responsible parent, but that
doesn't guarantee a perfect graduate.
You aren't dealing with a machine, he/she is a person, no guarantees.
Just keep on being the parent, support, help, as some kids don't 'get it' till very late, then
the light goes on and they move ahead.
I have one grandson who is dragging his feet, doesn't want to put in the effort to do grade 12.
No one can force him, and he has had lots of support from his mom, and us, but he can't find
the intestinal fortitude to 'make'himself do it, so he will have to slowly figure it out, and
someday he will either do it, or find work that he enjoys without grade 12, not easy.
He is very intelligent about many things in the world, politics, current events, people, and
can carry on a very adult conversation about many things, he is polite, and considerate, doesn't
drink or do drugs, reads a lot, (good books), but that little light that will tell him to move
forward hasn't gone on yet, but it will.
Although the school is there for him, he won't ask for help there, not interested in telling
anyone his problems, just his mom.
She knows him well, the school doesn't, and it isn't their fault in any way.
