[QUOTE="Janna, post: 243892, member: 2737"] J started cello last year. That thing is expensive! Now, he's not a difficult child, to me, but he has ADHD/attention issues. He got bored with it early this year. This would be his 2nd year, and he's advanced. He wants to move on to guitar. I told him he needs to show me he can stick with something. Now, I'm not forcing him. But what I told him is if he can make it through 6th grade with the cello (he's in 5th now) we'd do the guitar. He was OK with that. I don't want him to have to be forced to do what he doesn't want to do, but at the same time, he needs to follow through with what he wants to do. LOL! Does that even make sense? But, again, if it was D - I'd probably just drop it to save me the headaches. Wish I had school advice. I dunno - it stinks. Can they do it right when they get home? That's our rule here. NO TV, video games, etc until homework's done. They've gotten in the habit of doing it as soon as they walk in the door. [/QUOTE]
