this is such a shitty thing to do though??

As a person whose father shut off the internet when I was failing math, despite my pleas, depression, and dyscalculia, I can guarantee this is a #1 way to get your kid to hate you.

Help your kid, don’t punish them!! They have a D- for a reason. Do they need help with their homework? Do they not understand the materials?? Fucking talk to them.

Get them a tutor if they need it, talk to the teachers, talk to your kids!!!!!!!! Find out what’s wrong!!!!!!!!

Don’t take away an important contact/comfort item that they may need on a daily basis just because of a bad grade.
