When my daughter puts her mind to it she is very capable and does excellent, neat, complete school work; she can be very responsible but... More times than not, she chooses to do her homework very sloppy (you can barely read it sometimes), she refuses to put her papers in her folder so they're all wrinkled, she doesn't show me certain papers the teacher sends home so then I get nasty phone calls from the teacher.
I talk, reason and explain to her the importance of neat and complete work; I lead by example to no avail. She has always been this way, it's nothing new. I love my daughter, but I am beginning to feel she is old enough now to reap what she sows. I'm feeling like may be I should let her do her "thing" and as a result she may not move on to the next grade; then may be the embarrassment will shape her up for the years to come. What do you all think?
