1.) Q: Alexander Keith is spending more time after school hanging out with friends and seems to be dipping in his motivation for schoolwork. Senioritis has struck, you think. Your response is to:
A:Put very little direct pressure on Alexander Keith, because you figure it will just lead to rebelliousness. Instead, you suggest that he come up with some school assignments that would really interest him and ask one of the teachers if she or he will support it , or that he find a new extra-curricular activity and drop the old ones.
>Putting little pressure is our war of disciplining Alexander Keith with his behavior. I will let him focus more on his subjects and let him drop some old activities that are old so he could have more time and so that he will learn how to balance his time and set priorities.

He is disappointed in these scores. You praise Alexander Keith for doing his best on the tests. You discuss alternatives to 4-year colleges with him, such as community college and vocational training.
