Good morning, all. <br />

I think I had somewhat of a meltdown regarding DD. She was failing 2 subjects and was in danger of having to repeat them both. DD is gifted so it&#39;s not like she&#39;s even trying. When I saw her grades about 3 weeks ago, I went into school to see her guidance counselor. I asked him to remove her for next semester and all future semesters from all honor classes and put her in regular classes where she could pass with doing nothing. I told him that the stress was not good for any of us and that I was tired of the whole issue and just couldn&#39;t deal with it anymore. I told DD that if she wanted to just get by and do nothing with her life, fine with me. I told her that I felt she should join the army after school and be proud to represent her country. She said she thinks she wants to cut hair. Her guidance counselor looked at her FCAT scores and had a fit and told her she&#39;s off her rocker and needs to aim very high- University of Miami with academic and music sholarship. He refused to take her out of honors classes and said he wants her to check in with him on a regular basis. Well, since that day, her grades have taken an upward trend. He told her she should be getting A, not D and F. I&#39;m just keeping my fingers and toes crossed, hoping that maybe someone has finally gotten through to her. We&#39;ll see. The semester ends next Thursday. At least now that she&#39;s not failing anything, I can sleep  at night. Why do our kids do these things to us??? My roots have gone from gray to white the last couple of weeks. Thank God for Lady Clairol.<br />

Have a great day, Crazies. I will since DD has a band practice after school so my day will be longer. Yeah&#33;&#33;&#33;
