That's just the attitude we get. Unless kids can benefit from whatever they do, they don't want to do it. The one that couldn't do math literally all his life just tried giving up and not learning basic math so that the parent or teacher whoever it was, would either get so annoyed they would either give him the answer or they would give him a passing grade for doing part of the work where everyone else has to do it all. It's frustrating as hell watching someone that old struggle with first grade math. Kids just want everything handed to them instead of earning it and that doesn't fly in my house. We try to teach kids about the real world bc the real world doesn't care what you struggle with bc they have 15 other people wanting the same job you do. They think that since they are foster kids that they should be given an unfair advantage in life but that advantage doesn't follow you when you are out of foster care. But its the same thing about that horse with the water. Oh yeah, PJTOLEDO, no they didn't tell or text me that but that is the main factor in the equation whenever they are either failing school, lying, etc. I'm not saying his is every kid in foster care bc its not. That is just a large population that we notice in teens in foster care. "don't care" is probably the biggest issue with them.
