Open Quote If you want your kid to keep good grades remove them or don't enroll them, my kid went from an A-B to Ds and Fs. Seems to be how they want it too, they do not handle issues and look at you like you are the issue. The also seem to bully your kid when on one around. If they do look into the issue they seem to find they staff to be doing as they should. Close Quote
