If they are mad at you they will rebel by deliberately doing poorly in school

Hmm they will rebel.. Knowing Poet's PC side he'd be delirious with happiness if they brought home a huge black guy with gang tats all over his face..
My prediction is that they will both marry investment bankers who will talk condescendingly to Poet about his lacking interior decorating skills and his lack of fire arms in the house.

How old are your daughters poet? I must know before making inappropriate comments
On the topic at hand. they are poets kids and he would know them best. I assume that the girls are clearly capable of doing better than a 70. I used to get scores of 70-80 without trying and I was congratulated for good scores. That reinforced lazy behavior, most schools these days would also not say much to students who score 70.
poet will know what his girls are capable of and teach them a worthwhile lesson that they will appreciate later. It is great that you engage with your kids and their learning as well.
when I got to Uni and didn't work hard I got terrible scores. I had to work even harder to get scores back up to where I wanted to be. It doesn't suit everyone but I really wish my parents made that kind of effort with me

They are in high school. So when do they rebel again? (so early teens)

They'll probably rebel once they're out of your house and you won't be able to bully them into towing the line.
I was a straight laced kid all through high school, and even made the Dean's and President's lists in college. Then I moved out, and my dad had no control over my actions anymore.
I stopped going to school, had an affair with a married woman and started drinking heavily and doing drugs.
I didn't have a clue what I wanted because I had always been told what I was supposed to want. Once I had freedom to really explore life I found a lot of things I was way more interested in than what my father wanted for me, and a lot of them were things he always told me were bad.
I'm not saying it will happen, but I think it's something you should be mindful of. Are you guiding your children down the path they want to go, or are you forcing them to be children you can be proud of?
