OK, so here I am bragging about my third child. Report cards just came and with the exception of math, she pulled all her grades up to A's. Hooray. We might need to get her a tutor in math but at least I know she's doing her very best and I'm proud of her. :-)

That's great news! We've been having issues with grades with our teen, but he's been managing to pull everything up to B's - aside from Math, which is a huge struggle for him. We're considering a tutor, as well. A lot of it is the fact that he just hates doing it (which, I can't blame him), so solving that right there would bring his grade up a bit.

[i]Wow....Congrats for Dearra! I know it's a lot of hardwork and you're lucky to have her and vice versa! LOL!
When I was in High School, I hate math....LOL! and end up majoring it when I was in College, it's tough but manage by devoting a lot of time on it! A tutor will be a great help![/i]

I don't think all the friends in the world could have gotten me to major in math!

You have every right to be proud of her - I know that I would be if she were my child. How old is she?

She's 12 and in 7th grade. They're doing pre-algebra, and a year earlier than I had to do it!

Excellent report and it is good to brag about our children doing well like this. She has done great and caught up well.
I have to go see my two younger daughter teachers on the 16th. I am dreading to hear what she says about one of then, as I caught her wearing bright pink socks and orange makup on her face lately. She has as much interest in School at the moment than me. I really need to sort her out, as my shouting is not helping much.

HI dawnald,
Congratulations! That brings back memories of getting a dollar for every A I made! It was the only incentive plan that worked, according to my mother. I find that hard to believe since I love to learn! Keep up the good work!
