Michael, had an identical situation today. My answer was a "no" to the
extra work. I told her if she knew what she had to do, why didn't she do
it in the first place. There are always consequences, and sometimes it is
a hard and costly lesson to learn. In my case, if this one class is going
to mess her up, it is because she has and is messing up other classes. I
decided that I was not going to be the "to the rescue" guy. She'd have to
learn to rescue herself and not put herself in danger in the first place.
Make it a good day.
