[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 534875, member: 1967"] I'm going to join donna723 as old school. You said he procrastinated so he should suffer the consequences. It would be a lot better to get a low grade or a zero in fifth grade when it doesn't really count in the big scheme of things and learn a lesson about procrastinaton than wait until high school when the grade would affect his GPA. Having said that, I know how tempting it is to step in and rescue a child. My husband and I have done that repeatedly and I truly believe that it is one of the reasons my difficult child is like she is today. She always knew we would be there to rescue her and she never had to face the consequences of her actions. When she was in fifth grade, I would have typed it for her. Knowing what I know now, I would have let her face the teacher without the report and told her to explain to the teacher why she didn't have it typed. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
