You sound like my friend's parents who didn't realize until sixth grade that my friend needed glasses to see well in school. "Just focus your brain on the blackboard! You're not paying attention, that's why you can't see!" "You should be doing whatever it takes to learn the material, whether office hours or asking fellow classmates." Dumbass parents didn't think to get their child's vision checked. Amazing how a pair of $60 glasses instantly gave their child "so much more willpower" to become a "star student."
