A student getting derailed as a freshman with unacceptable grades is quite predictable and also avoidable.
One of my favorite all-time quotes comes from a parent.
I was on a Zoom call with Marie and her son just before he headed off to college—U Miami. As she cupped her forefinger and thumb, she looked at her son and said, “C you at home.”
Those words rang out with profound significance. And it got his attention.
Three years later, her son and I remain mindful of those powerful words.
The unspoken secret to academic success is to avoid C’s. They indicate a lack of content knowledge. It’s tough to catch up from there.
Aside from that, college costs too much to accept making Cs.
Thank you, Marie, for pointing that out.
If you’d like to talk about how we can implement a similar effect with your child, let’s talk.
