Participant[quote=sdkbhomes]If you haven’t bought at Parc@54, you should have. The prices have already risen $6K, and they haven’t all been built as of today. This complex is a spark of getting the neighborhood better. There are apts next door that will be converting into condos, and the Sears Essential store will be gone with either a new strip mall or more upscale housing developments. This neighborhood is turning around like so many here in San Diego. There is a satellite police station nearby as well. So, if you haven’t bought because of some words of fear – You lost out![/quote]
Well – if they’re putting in a new strip mall nearby, I’m all in. (snark)

ParticipantI have a data set of 2 people I know from RSF. Both are down to earth. One is a guy who hired our AWFUL contractor before we did and we were finding out how many people the contractor had ripped off. He opened up his house, told us his story, was very gracious, nice, etc. The other RSF person is someone we met through Craigslist – we were buying a hospital bed for my father-in-law. The guy, again, was super nice, charming, non-snooty.
It’s not a big, or representative sample. But it’s all I’ve got.

ParticipantI’m a big believer that parents have to figure out what works for their family and their kids. If this works, great.
I’m also of the mind that just carrots or just sticks won’t do it for most kids – you need carrots ($ in this case) and sticks (removal of privileges).
I think the idea that it’s too long of a period is a valid one. Perhaps you can arrange with the guidance counselor to get monthly status updates.
I was the “bright but lazy” student – and that’s what my dad did – if the monthly report showed I was underperforming he cracked down – I could do NOTHING but homework and extra studying. One month of that and I was back on track.
At the time I thought my dad was the meanest dad on the planet – in hindsight, I know he was doing it because he cared and wanted me to achieve my potential.
But – if paying for grades works – great. What is your backup plan if it doesn’t work?
