MrsH1234:

They told me to back off and let him figure it out. In the end, he went off to college ill-prepared for the rigor.

We backed off my DC’s senior year of HS - told them they were going to have to figure it out because we could not go to college with them and keep them on top of stuff.

We, and they, learned that they were not ready to go away to college before they actually did. So in our case, the backing off in HS was a good thing.
