That's good advice from Kjensen. I don't know if you are doing family counseling. If you aren't, then you should start. And in the future, don't try to punish her for grades. I know you feel you need to, but right now it may be too much. The failure at school is a reflection of the home life. She can't correct the school part unless the home life gets better. You can talk to her about her grades and that you know she can do better, you can encourage her to do better, but considering the situation, keep punishments to a minimum. It's just not worth it.
