Lexie at School(I spoke with the councillor)

Lexie needs to work harder. Her test scores show she is 100% capable of doing the work. I need to check over her homework every night and make her redo it if she missed a bunch. The councillor is going to have a talk with Lexie. She is also going to speak to her teacher about doing the same kind of thing in class. She says I need to give Lexie social motivation for better grades because that's what she craves at this age (or ask her what kind of reward she would like for better grades). Councillor suggested things like going to a movie, having a play-date, etc with friends. Also, she said on work that comes back with bad grades, I save it for the weekend and sit with her and take time on the weekends to do it. That would be time away from TV and playing, etc. Then let her know if she does better in class, she will have less work and more play.
