“(his name) is the smartest guy in his class, but, unfortunately, he is also the worst student.”

LOL, have you been stealing my old grade reports? My parents heard that a lot.

Not every kid needs to hit “rock bottom” in the sense of some terrible, permanent event like a DUI. Sometimes living with some regular old consequences is enough. But I agree with cpt that when parents don’t want to hear a certain truth, nothing in the world can make them. Sometimes they’ll wise up when you least expect it. Let’s hope that happens here.
