<p>Ok so i am going to a college right now and i am in my second year. I am in Electrical Engineering and i am doing bad. </p>
<p>My first semester freshman year was not too bad but my second semester was bad. I received a D in general chemistry and my parents were very displeased with it. </p>
<p>Then this year, I retook that class and got another D as well as a D in computer science. I did manage to get an A in intro to Electrical Engineering. My parents are very mad that i received a D again in the same class i retook and received a D in another class. My parents want to take me out of school and have me go to community college to prove to them that i can show that i can work hard.</p>
<p>I admit, i did not study nearly as much as i should have and was too distracted by friends. I need to grow up but i do believe that going back is the best thing for me. I do not know how to convince them that i am ready. I need "road map" to show them and convince them how I am mature enough to go back...</p>
<p>apologize, tell them you’ll delete your social networks because those we’re distracting to you (it might not have been but it works) and you’ll work your hardest if you get another chance, and actually do well next year.</p>
<p>Your parents have the upper hand. They are paying your tuition under the assumption you will do your very best. If you can convince your parents the third time you won’t get a D once more, you should change your major to law. </p>
<p>There comes a point where you need to decide if it is really in your best interests to stay. If your overall gpa is going to be terrible, perhaps it would be best to transfer to a community college and “start over” so to speak. It is a tough job market out there for students with poor GPAs. With college costs what they are, you are in for a rude awakening without good job prospects. </p>
<p>Furthermore, are you even able to advance in this major at this particular school? I would assume that these courses were prerequisites to the next level of courses, and sometimes a C- or above is required in order to take the next course. Are you able to retake a class a third time for grade replacement? You need to have the answers to these questions to present to your parents.</p>
<p>If you were my son/daughter, I would need to see some solid evidence that you are not just wiling to turn things around, but actually ABLE to do so. Why were the grades so poor? Did you miss on the details during tests, or miss on the overall concepts? Did you seek out tutoring/extra help? Taking a core class twice, and getting a D twice, is a sign that perhaps the material is beyond you, at least at this particular school.</p>
<p>EE is an extremely hard major at any school. Have you thought about switching to a less demanding engineering concentration that is more suited to your talents? At the very minimum, if I were your parent and were considering allowing you to stay, I would insist upon full access to your daily grades. I would monitor them and hold you accountable on a periodic basis. Your parents do not want you to come home because they want to punish you. It is because they want to see you succeed and, so far, you are not showing them that you can at this school.</p>
