me and my brother were never punished for
grades..my brother never had bad grades
and I was ace student until my senior
year..I only saw bad grades in college but
my parents didn't do anything except to
tell me that of course my grades were not
good because i'm not studying enough. In
the end they said i better pass otherwise
they were not going to pay more room and
boarding hehehe oh good memories..
so i don't know if punishing for grades
works..i guess I would try to find what
the root cause of the problem is and go
from there..

Coming from a current teenager's views.
You just have to stress the importance of
grades. I was never grounded or scolded
for grades. EVER. Now I'm graduating
from highschool with a 3.8 this year. So,
I guess it wasn't really necessary. We
were never yelled at for grades. Other
siblings: Oldest sister graduated from
highschool with a 3.992 a year early and
graduated from undergraduate school with a
3.9 magna cum laude, older brother went to
University of Washington four years early,
and graduated with a high GPA, my other
older sister graduated from highschool
with a 3.65 (she kind of got smashed by
Calculus because she was out with a burst
appendix for half of the class), and now
she's in college and doing well. My other
siblings are younger than me and are
similar with grades.
They just helped us to understand why we
need good grades, and of course, there was
always the good old, "I've got to be as
good as x sibling."
