Congratulations, Zander!
I got a call today at work that made my day and confused me at the same time. My ten-year-old nephew got straight As on his most recent report card. Woo hoo! You go, boy!
However, his teacher also wrote on his card that he's not trying his hardest. Now where I come from, getting an A (he also got two A+s) is as good as you can do. If they think he's tried his hardest, are they going to give him an A+++? Or maybe, like in some high schools where you can take college credit and get higher than a 4.0, they'll let him get straight As and start on his high school 4.0?
I say, if you think he's not trying hard enough and yet he's still doing superior work, give him harder work to do and see how he does then.
Yeah, his teacher wasn't doing her best work either. He really wasn't trying his best but I always got that comment on my report cards too so it is hard for me to ride him too hard. Now I have to get him the golf clubs he earned. Oh yeah, and I am going to take him tomorrow to buy his first hunting license since MI just lowered the hunting age to 10.
ReplyDeleteI think I just figured out who buddageek is! Hey, bro'!
ReplyDeleteHey, maybe you should consider getting your own cool name to post comments under.
ReplyDeleteCome on, you know you want to!
I have one somewhere, I just can't remember where I put it.

awp
Ummmm...on your nose?
ReplyDeleteHi, AWP! You know, I never did get him those golf clubs. We have been looking off and on since then but haven't pulled the trigger (on the golf clubs). He has been hunting quite a bit and enjoys that more than golf.
ReplyDeleteHow come I never heard about this 'special' report card?
ReplyDeleteWe all know the 'boy' is smart!
Has he discussed "multiverse" with you, too?
