I had homework all the time in highschool that was internet required like we would have to go to a website and print off a worksheet or read specific documents on a website. So in some cases its required, book reports and the like not so much because usually there is a physical copy of something that you need, but then again when ever I had to do actual papers on a topic the guidelines always said 2 physical sources 2 internet sources or similar, internet sources usually came from ebscohost or whatever but still the internet was needed.
How's his grades? Does he smoke teh reefer or drink?Uhh I'm an adult,I told him to bring his comp to me so I shouldn't have to remind him every week to bring it to me,he remembered to bring it but since I didn't say anything he tried to get slick.Thanks to everyone who gave advice whether good or bad.I made some costly parenting mistakes but I'm trying to correct some of them but it's never to late for someone to learn be it kid or adult.He's just making it harder for his 11 yr old sister.Live and learn I guess
exactly. every english class i've had since 9th grade the teacher has specifically stated "when you get home tonight, get on the internet and look up *blah blah*" followed by "if you do not have access to internet you can go up to the library with the NAZI LIBRARIAN for 15 minutes"
kid usually makes all d's,so this should be his last year in school and I wanted him to really try to graduate,basically I'm sticking to my guns and that's that so again Thanks for the replies,hell this isn't the end of the fuccin world,he can't play football big deal I guess,it could be worse for him.He lives in a great neighborhood,has nice clothes and a fridge full of food,what else could he need.He will survive.
You ever heard of a figure of speech? If you honestly think that I would kill them you need to get your head on straight. Obviously I wouldn't kill them, I'd more or less just ***** and moan about it and more than anything make their lives completely miserable. I hope he does the same to you. Taking things he likes away from him isn't necessarily going to make him start telling the truth. You obviously have let it go too far.
And I'm curious why did you make this thread when everyone who has disagreed with you you have disregarded and contradicted? If you already knew the answer what was the point? If the kid gets D's he shouldn't be allowed to play football anyway. When I went to High School (which wasn't all that long ago) we had to sustain AT LEAST a C average in order to play sports... Then again anything less than 69 was failing at my school. Not to mention there really is no excuse for D's in public high schools. Get him a tutor or make him stay after school for extra help. I'm sure the teachers would be more than happy to help him. It's obvious he doesn't do SHIT.
I am a parent and I can't believe you would actually ask Cheesemind WTF to do. He doesn't know anything about anything and yet thinks he knows everything. He is a person to use for target practice, not for advice on raising your kid.
If this is the case you might want to SERIOUSLY considering other options as far as his high school completion. With grades like that he is going to find it very difficult to get into any competitive or even decent university. Has he completed his SATs?
Sorry, but that is an excessively false statement. Football kids were some of the absolute (dumbest) and worst acting kids i've EVER met. They all seem to think that the coach is their buddy so they are always trying to get coaches to get them out of classes, and every time they get in trouble the coach just goes and gets them out of it so they can keep playing. Total bullshit, but whatever.
well i think as the parent of a kid thats doing bad in highschool you shoudl have some kind of contact with the teachers. Like weekly meetings , emails, phone calls.
