<p>Why is the GC to blame for this? </p>
<p>At the end of the day, son must take ownership, accountability and responsibility for his performance in class and ultimately his grade. </p>
<p>If he cannot learn to do this now where there can be a level of interdependence and a safety net for high school, when will it happen?</p>
<p>Remember, there are no parent teacher conferences in college and your son is going to have to be accountable, advocate for himself and learn how to work with people that he may not necessarily like or who he feels can not necessarily “teach”.</p>
<p>Where was the plan to turn things around when son got the first D and there were still a good 10 weeks left in the term? </p>
<p>If he got an 89 for the 3rd marking period, apparently he has the tools needed to turn the situation around.</p>
<p>Why didn’t he do this sooner? </p>
<p>Does your school offer tutoring or resources for students taking APs (or any classes)? </p>
<p>At any time did S meet with the teacher to ask for help in turning things around?</p>
<p>When you attended parent/teacher conference did you ask how you could assist in helping your son turn this around?</p>
