Report Card Day

Life around my house really starts to change close to report card day. The kids start offering to help with house hold chores. Beware, when this happens you are about to get the worst report card ever. P's wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, she did however drop in dual credit history. Her class rank is 22 out of 490, so she is generally not my problem. But L, thats a different story. Last year he convinced us that advanced classes were too hard for him, so we only made him take one AP, and one dual credit class. So the good part is that he made a 100 in football, but thats the only good part. The other grades were one B, one C, three D's, and one F. Have I mentioned that I hate the age 16. We have held his drivers license because of grades and now the report card is twice as bad. One of the video sites someone sent me, talked about how times have changed, but that the rules haven't and that the punishment needs to fit the crime. So in addition to not letting him get his drivers license, we are not letting him go out on weekends until his grades improve. After e-mailing all his teachers, they say he makes great grades on the material he turns in, but 13 zeros tend to bring down your average. My oldest daughter (26) never gave me this much trouble, maybe it's just BOYS.
