I helped raise a niece because of unfortunate family circumstances and I always kept track of her grades the same way. You mentioned wait till college— well this girl just graduated with a BS in Nursing with honors from South Carolina after 3 years. She is working toward becoming a Nurse Practitioner and in a cardiac unit. She's 21, has an honors degree, a decent job and a plan. To the other poster— Minn— on this board who keeps trying to make me feel like a terrible mom, I guess all my “hovering” when she was young worked out. This is her dream job. She's not out occupying Wall street.
Interesting. My daughter went to North Georgia College and State University and graduated with honors in nursing. She too is working towards her NP while working in an Alzheimer’s/hospice unit on second shifts. I am glad your neice is doing so well.
I am also glad that your daughter went in and talked with her teachers. That will serve her well in life and in further education. I made my daughter do the same thing because I learned early on that if you build a rapport with your teachers (profs) it always is worth a little extra AND you get the help you need.
Apology accepted. I have been known to be cranky on occassion myself. I hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving
