[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 135547, member: 4040"] After Miss KT's lousy progress report (failing English, D's in both Band and Geometry), I contacted her teachers, and learned from her English teacher that she just hasn't been turning stuff in. So, as I promised, I took back the truck keys and handed her bus fare. After raging and screaming, she called her father to come up tomorrow so she wouldn't have to walk home. He wouldn't. Then she yelled at me some more, and I pointed out yet again that I was not going to drive her if the keys were pulled for disciplinary reasons. She called my mother. I'd already explained to my mother the importance of saying NO, and surprisingly enough, she did! After more raging and screaming, Miss KT decided she was going to sleep at school because she wasn't walking home. I suggested she take a blanket with her tomorrow if that was the case. She stomped off to her room, and would have slammed the door if she had a door to slam. Not pleasant, but I meant what I said and I'm sticking to it! [/QUOTE]
