You think that insisting on dutiful homework would raise a spirit of rebellion in Matt, and that he will get back to the schoolwork of his own accord as soon as he sees what it feels like to get a "D" grade in class. B. suggest that he drop his least favorite after-school activity to devote more time to reading about his own interests in science, but urge him to keep up at least a B average in the science and math classes, because it will help him prepare for and get in to college. C. nag him about homework and make free time on the weekends contingent on a good week of homework. D. maintain firmly that you will not accept less than his best effort in school. You point out that college professors will not look kindly on someone who doesn't choose to work hard in their classes, no matter how good his or her writing may be.
