ie: there are no good kids
There are no good kids, huh? When do we become good, then? When we are an adult? And when does that happen? Adulthood is not a specific age, it is a mind-set. I am sorry to see that you are teaching your children that they are bad kids, because now they think they are bad kids and may never get out of that mind-set.
I do agree with you need to know what is happening so that you can help your child continue to be good, not because you don't want to go to jail for them.
When you make that decision to have a child, you are making a commitment to the child. You then have to become selfless. Just remember that children learn best by example and they SEE and HEAR so much more that you do and say. Children from a very early age (and even better younger) can see TRUTH, but because they love us and rely on us so much, we, as parents, can distort that.
They are not bad kids. They are misunderstood and/or misinformed. I was brought up in the sense that I, because I was a child, was bad and could not be trusted. I am lucky, I was able to not let that burden me and am now able to change that for my child.
I think that a child who is getting straight As up until high school then their grades slip badly is trying to say something. It may just be a change in them, but it could also be a cry for help. As a parent, it is our job, with all the patience in the world, to figure that out and then help the child.
Allowing grades to be sent online to be is fine, as I would feel that I have the right to go into the school and ask (and expect truth) how my child is doing and what are they being teached in school. If I would not get an answer or the truth, it would them be time for me to take charge and make changes, either home school or another school.
