So she is doing the work, her instructor knows she is doing the work, but she was still failing because she kept forgetting to hand in a stupid piece of paper.
Holy **** you gotta be frikkin kidding me. How absolutely stupid is that. 
So I don't think it makes an impression. She will forget something 5 minutes after I tell her.
Told her to change the cats water and add dry food this morning.
Heard her change the water then go into the pantry for the dry, heard her open the cat food bin.
Just walked through the kitchen earlier, no dry food in the cats bowl.  |
^^^This was me in High School... the teachers loved me, I was a great student and knew the material.
But I sucked at doing the work/taking the tests...
Don't know if it was because I hated my dad (I did)... I was/am OCD... or ADD... or whatever... it was the 70's and they didn't send kids to shrinks back then... my dad yelled at me a lot and the school pushed me through with sucky grades...
But it didn't harm me at all... at least that is what the voices in my head are telling me...
But seriously, I would have your daughter checked out... sounds like she is smart and may have some sort of learning disability.
YMMV
