Chapter 15: The "I Hate School" Spiral
Scenario:
Your kid announces, "School is pointless. I'm never going back."
You want them to succeed, but you also remember hating algebra with every fiber of your being.
What would you do?
Do you threaten to take away every screen in the house?
Or do you help them find what they love, remind them that school is just one path, and that life skills matter just as much as grades?
