DD has just started YR10. Average child, if she finds something interesting then she works really well and gets really good results.
However, she finds an awful lot of things "boring" at school SO Hardly makes an effort.
She has also told me on many occassions she does not want to be seen as a "geek". She does not want to be seen as someone who puts her hand up in class, does her homework and hands it in on time. She really thinks she will lose face!
I have tried really hard explaining to her that she will not always be these friends, and she is gradually running out of time, and needs to stop messing about and crack down.
Its really odd, but DD has only been like this since the beginning of Secondary School, before that she hardly said BOO to a goose!
