Hi my DD is in year 12 at College taking 3 A levels. The annoying thing about her is that she is very able but she will not put in the work and is content with Ds when her teachers say she could easily achieve Bs and above. We were very laid back with her GCSE preparation trusting her to put the revision in (as she had always done) but this backfired somewhat and her grades were well below what was expected or predicted. She is a party animal and as she is retaking her January modules in May and also taking the regular ones as well we have said that she isn't going to party from next week until after the exams. Two of her lecturers actually suggested this to us when we were at parent's evening a couple of weeks ago. She says that if we do this all it will achieve is that she will really hate us. I have told her that if the results in August contain any Ds she will not return to college in September to do A levels because she's obviously not cut out for them. She is very well provided for with mobile contract, driving lessons etc etc and all we want is for her to have sufficient education to be able to make choices about her future life. Help please!
