Sorry ausgirl - your post did make me feel like you thought I was a moron. I feel like I didn't succeed in highschool because of the crowd I hung around. I dropped out, fell pregnant... & here I am.

There's probably a 99% chance my kids will go the same way I did, but I'm going to do everything I can to avoid that. I'm trying to get them to understand that education is important. I'm doing everything I can to help them do better than I did.

I don't know if I'm doing it right or not, but I'm doing my best
