I agree with the others-- have had this same thing before too. My feeling is that we would be teaching the wrong thing by rescuing since generally, this is not the way life works. I've also been told that "my parents will kill me if I bring home a ----"(fill in the grade), "my visa will be cancelled", etc.

Anyway,she feels that it is essential that she gets a C in the class to maintain her financial good standing. So she wants me to give her extra work.
