Yes, as I explained a few pages ago, this was detailed to him. He uses no resources at school. As I put it, he’s just…there. He also turned down private tutoring we have offered to pay for. He refuses to go, lies about seeing a tutor, or claims he doesn’t need one (then inevitably bombs the next midterm or final). Rinse, repeat.
So I’d like to pushback on all the comments that we’ve never allowed him to fail. We have and he just refuses to learn or appraise and modify behavior after falling on his face repeatedly. He does what he wants, when he wants. Our ideas mean nothing to him - he’s the man. I remain convinced he’s just interested in one and one thing only: the freedom and fun college provides. He has zero interest in or appreciation for what college is actually about. It’s frustrating and embarrassing because there are so many millions of ambitious young men who would kill for the golden opportunity he’s been given.
