There is hope he can turn it around. My older daughter and I had an agreement when she started college. If she did not pull a 3.0 GPA I would not pay her tuition for the following Semester. Well in her Freshman year she got a 3.5 in her first semester and then a 3.1 in her second semester. In the summer we had another talk and I reminded her of our agreement. Well her first semester of her Sophomore year she pulled a 2.4 grade point average. I refused to pay the tuition the next semester and told her if she earned a 3.0 to 3.5 I would reimburse her for half of the semester and pay her full tuition beginning the next semester. I also told her if she earned 3.5 or higher I would reimburse the entire amount and again pay for the next semester's tuition. Well, surprise, surprise she came home with a 3.75 and never once fell below a 3.5 the rest of her undergraduate course work. This next Spring she will complete her PhD course work in Criminal Sociology. Sometimes a little bit of tough love goes a long way!
