About me
Welcome to the GreatSchools community! Tell us about yourself to start building your profile.
Im the mother of 3, ages 23, 20 and 15. My goal is to get my 20 year old through college and my 15 year old through high school and then college. My 20 year old is currently at a local community college where most of the classes he needs only take 18 students and offer only one class per semester. needless to say, he isnt getting where he needs to be because of the enrollment process. He is getting extremely frustrated. My 15 year old daughter is beginning tenth grade this fall and just isnt motivated. She gets low grades. She doesnt seem to care. She gives minimum effort. I have tried everything to help her raise her grades. She is currently enrolled in Sylvan. I keep in touch with her teachers. no matter what she just doest have the motivation to do better. Her behavior at school is always good. Never any complaints.
