Please excuse me if my English isn't correct...
My daughter has always been smart 4.0 student but she is a sophomore now and some very bad things have happened:
1. The summer before the school year, she took honors bio online and she took too long to finish it. she had to finish the course the last week of summer even though we have been telling her to finish it before hand but she finished it at the last minute and her report card is yet to come out. all of this is her fault and we are very mad at her for being so irresponsible
2. because she took to long for her bio class, she was not able to effectively use summer to prepare for the sat 1 test. normally juniors take this but she insisted on taking it her sophomore year, so we paid two thousand dollars for her summer sat class. she went from a 1380 to a 1520 (on the new sat!) but of course we all know this isn't high enough to place her in a top 20 school bc she is indian. we are angry at her that she threw all this money and wasn't effective with it and waisted her time.
the worst part is, she can't take the octobore or november tests bc its not enough time to raise her score to a 1580/1590 (she is in school so she has lots of homework and study) so we paid $2000 for nothing.
3. she got an A in algebra 2 honors last semester but she got a 40% on her first precalc honors test and her teacher suggested that she drop down to the regular math level.
i told my daughter that there was no point in her skipping a grade in math if she had to drop to the regular level and i was very angry at her for not seeking help in her math class when she needed it.... she took her second test today and i told her that she must get an A in this class or else no college will accept her as an engineering major, which we encouraged her to do bc she only likes majors that dont lead to a good career (like english and that kind of stuff). we are so so so angry at her for this failure in math and we dont know what to do bc she studied harder for today's test but she failed to get 100%, which is what she needs to make up for the 40%
we are so angry and disappointed at our daughter for all of her recent failures. how do we punish her? thanks
