Ah teenagers...

Posted by Fuzzy (aka mrfuzzy) Dec 3 '11, 08:46

My 15 year old son is upset with me today because I won't let him game. I have a strict and oft-repeated policy that there will be no gaming while there is a grade below a B. His grade is Spanish has come up to C in the last few weeks and he feels that this is ok (in his words "it's just a C") and should allow him to play.

In 3 short years I release him on society and then he's your problem. Unfortunately in 3 short years my daughter will be beginning her teenage years.

I may not survive it.

How soon before the next grade is posted? In my day, letter grades were issued at the end of the semester. Which seems like a long time to wait before - mara Dec 3, 08:49 7
- It's online. We get up-to-the-minute grades, as soon as the teacher posts them. -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 3, 08:52 6
  - But to your point, his argument is that it may take a few weeks before he has another test or opportunity to improve his grade. - Fuzzy Dec 3, 08:53 5
    - You are doing it right - we flipped our shit when Lil Pip brought home something below a B - cause we knew and she knew - she could do better - Epiphany Dec 3, 09:02 2
      - We once got the line "what will you pay me for an A? My friends get $100." We told her it was her job to get "A"s and ours to go out and work to - MistletoeMeg Dec 3, 09:07 1
