I do believe that if son had received money for academics from State of Florida, 3.0 needed to be maintained. It may be different coming from the school that give it.
I can definetly relate to lots of things posted here.
Sons biggest challenge also was in the classroom. Having found HS academics somewhat challenging, with little studying, it was an adjustment. This semester he found classes in major to be even more difficult, but he has made adjustments and one very well overall.
Although fairly good at taking care of his apartment and personal things, this moring he called me to ask if he should wash his comforter or send it to dry cleaners. Not too many questions asked like that anymore, but at least he still needs mom.
For those whose sons have not gone through spring season, your boys will adjust. They also will learn by end of year, doing well in fall classes is most important.
If your sons are struggling with class work, they should seek out advisor and use academic resources as much as possible.
