Just toying with the camera today, thought you might enjoy the 2 cuties that were at home today.
Crazy enough my story is about Aidan. Last week Aidan came home upset, he slowly got out his folder and began to tear up. I asked what had happened, he couldn't even talk, he pulled out a paper with a 90 on it. I, being the child that would have been really excited to have a 90, didn't understand why he was upset. We asked if it was the best he could do and he assured us it was, so we said that was good. I went on to say if he had brought home a 50 and that was the best he did that would still be ok. Cody quickly stopped me and said well maybe an 80 or so.
Every few days we have to sign work that has been done and graded by the teacher. It is just to let us know how he is doing. Well, today I noticed after signing it that he is also grading it. He had placed small 100's on his paper in pencil where you can barely see them.
Sorry we have been gone for a few days, so the post have been slow. Hopefully we are back on track.
Dylan has always had great grades, the other day we were in the car and he said that he made a bad grade on a paper, i thought he was just kidding and i said "i'll woop you boy" he started crying and i found out that he was not joking. I felt really stupid and bad and everything else, but he never brings home anything less than 90's.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Mr. Howell.
ReplyDeleteI could have used a bunch of little 100's written in pencil when I was in school.
ReplyDeleteGreat story...
I remember when Jim brought home his first "B".... You would have thought the world came to an end. Maybe we should all just use Jake's philosophy - "If it's passing, it doesn' matter."
ReplyDelete(I REALLY don't feel that way - can't impress the "do your best" thing on him! But, hey!, he has less stress than the rest of us!)
Sharla, welcome to the blog world. I loved your site but couldn't leave a comment. So I hope you read this!
ReplyDeleteAre the little 100's because he did his best? Maybe we should all embrace his grading system at the end of the day! I'm going to use this on Joda.
