College Question
Thanks for all the suggestions, especially those about finding out why she failed those classes.
The junior year failure is easily explained. Last September she had a near fatal car crash in which she was driving. She and my nephew walked away with scrapes and bruises because they were in a van. The driver of the other car (a compact) nearly died, was in intensive care for a couple months and had to wear a "halo" neck brace for several more months. She was also a student at my niece's high school and my niece was nearly suicidal with guilt. I'm surprised she didn't have more trouble with school last year.
I'm not sure what happened her sophomore year but I know she's not lazy. I wonder if she isn't a bit ADD/ADHD and can only concentrate on things that really interest her. I should find out if the school counselor can administer the tests that might show if she has a learning disability of some kind.
Taking a year off to mature is also probably a good idea. In a lot of ways she is very young for her age.
