I am 100% behind you in getting Charlotte to keep her grade point average up. I had part-time jobs in junior high but never worked during the school year in high school and spent my time studying. The scholarship money I received was far greater than doing time at flipping burgers at Wendy's.
Making Charlotte continue to get good grades instead of giving into distractions ultimately is about teaching her the importance of focussing on bigger goals and achieving what is important. So it's more than just about GPA.
Even though I know all your frustations with her, I am totally envious. That you've raised her so far, to be such a super person. Rio and Reina are just too little to tell right now. I know I am on the right track but there just seems to be so much work ahead before I even get to the kind of problems you face with Charlotte!! ***Cuddles***
