Who'd have thunk giving my kid a book would backfire?

[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 331613, member: 3444"] Marg, it's late in the semester and I don't know really if he can get credit at this point for some kind of project related to this book. He's in what you would call senior high now. And it's not just the language arts class where he's dropping the ball, it's everywhere, with the exception of Algebra (and P.E.), which is a repeated course from last year, so I'd EXPECT him to do well in this. His problem is he just does not turn in the work on time, or doesn't do it at all (like last night). I did get him up early this morning to work on the assignments. He finished his math work and got part of his language arts finished. But no science. His web design class that he's behind in can only be worked on in class. He said he'd do more of the work at the morning break (which is in between his science and language arts classes). Now this is another thing that just gets me: I asked him if he finished his language arts assignment (which was nearly done at home) at the break (thinking that this was the next class he had after break and should have been a cinch to finish). Nope. He worked on his science homework. :hammer: Uh, that class was already over, and the assignment is now late so why work on that when you have an almost-complete assignment for your NEXT class and a chance to turn it in ON TIME if you just focus on THAT one???!!! Well, he didn't think of that. :slap: There are surprises around every dang corner, aren't there? [/QUOTE]
