<p>Well, I’m kind of the other direction than some of you… I have personally seen the grief that comes from a lost scholarship and having to leave the school. Our ds is on scholarship, too and I just plainly said, “Look, son, you are on scholarship and you know we don’t have the money to keep you there without it. What were your midterm grades?” </p>
<p>My ds isn’t used to deadlines that don’t move when life gets crazy (we homeschooled him), so I encouraged him to set up a Google calendar (accessible from anywhere!) with all his assignments and classes on it. He’s done that and I think it has really helped him. His midterms, thankfully, were fine.</p>
