[QUOTE="tunaq, post: 233862, member: 6597"] i'm so proud of myself! i managed to put something off on husband that he would normally put off on me! and i kept my cool the entire time! so yesterday was report card day. as expect DSS is failing and had a .9333 gpa. the family sat down to talk and DSS started pulling up his grades for the new quarter, he is already not doing his work! 2 days into the new quater and he already was racking up zero's! husband and i both told him we knew he could make the grades but letting zero's add up like he was, he will end up repeating 8th grade.:frowny: he tried to use the excuse of " well it's just one in this class." and i tried to explain that it's not just 1 zero for the year though and that is why his grades are the way they are, is because he lets all these zeros build up and they add up. i did not lecture, i did not yell i simply told him how zero's affects grades, and i left it at that. then i listened to him and husband talk. The meeting husband had with the school, he (husband) and the teachers [B]all [/B]signed a contract on what their plan was to get DSS on track and get the proper education he deserves. this contract included the fact they were going to get DSS an agenda for us and the teachers to sign daily. it included taking him out of gifted class and art for 2 different tutoring prgrams, and NONE of these things have happened as of yet. normally this is the point that husband would turn to me and ask me to e-mail the school asking why things had not happened yet, but i beat him to it! i heard all of the conversation and turned to husband and said " it looks like you are going to have to call the school dear, and make these things happen!" then, i got up and walked away before he could even attempt to put it off on me! it felt so good!:happy: [/QUOTE]
