If she at least makes a solid attempt to make good grades by bringing home her books and studying then that is relaxed. She's been told that if she makes an effort and can't perform that it is ok but if she is lazy and just doesn't make an effort and brings home lower than an A she is in deep shit. She tested me once by bringing home a C on a spelling test. She was promptly grounded to her room with nothing but a book. That was a year and a half ago and she hasn't brought home anything less than an A since then. It sounds harsh but it's really not because it encourages her to work hard.

When your daughter grows up to resent you don't wonder why.
About the kid, he probably locked his knees which restricts your bloodflow and can cause you to faint. Why many grooms have fainted at the altar.
