Going straight forward...antlers 6th thread.

I need some help. I got this in an E-mail from her late last night...

"I don't know if you've looked at the kids' grades lately but they are horrible.
Son is making C's, D's, and an F. Daughter has a C and D also. Starting
tomorrow (Monday) I want their agendas brought home EVERY day and I am going to
look at them (whether they are with me or you). I want them to write what they
did in class and what is coming up (assignments, tests, etc). Also, school
offers "Tuesday Tutors" where the kids can go and get help. I want Son to
start going this Tuesday. Daughter can go also to support him. It's from 3:45 to
4:45 so he'll need picking up. These grades need to be brought up. I will
start looking at them daily and you need to ask them about them as well. With
those kinds of grades they should be having homework every night. I'm also
going to email Son's teachers and see about him staying in during recess
and/or lunch to get some work done. It looks like he's missing assignments from
when you checked him out of school and kept him home. These should have already
been done. We need to work with them on this. This is their lives we are
dealing with and I do not want them to have low gpa's or repeat a grade. Both
of them are much smarter than the grades they are portraying.

I've told her all along this crap has and is affecting the kids in a negative way, and she didn't want to hear any of it! Anyway I need to respond and I'd like some help from you folks.


ps- son was very sick with sinusitis and he missed a few days of school because of it (that's what she was referring to). Our kids always made good grades when they lived at home with both parents.
