>>>>the only thing I have to add is that this child obviously knows how to study or she wouldn't be getting A's in half her classes


Yeah...I didn't know how to interpret some of the classes the original poster listed.

I guess to preface my "from the hip" post, that's more or less for kids struggling academically. I mean for all we know, she could be a genius and just be so bored with school that she's losing interest and not doing work. That's why I did say that the teacher/parent conference is a good idea...I just think there is a lot more to it than that.


She DID bomb out last year too...so it could be issues with her family life too. Going from parent to parent has been known to have that effect, ya know. Whatever the issue...she still needs to learn the value of doing her work. Yeah, KT, you could be right...if she's getting A's, then maybe it's not a smart thing, but an emotional problem.
