Oh oh, whatchu say is what I do. I've often suspected that my minority was bein' whittled down by them what don't cotton to wise-guys. :(

Hmm, there is food for worry here aplenty.

I was the same way. Hated getting anything lower than an A-. It took a couple exceedingly hard classes in high school for me to become happy with a B.

OMG, OMG,
she came home today from school & was talking on the phone then came running out of the house with a piece of paper.

Shes been nomiated for Honors English.

OK OK,
around here we have a Jr/sr high setting.
you dont go to the middle schools (yes they are middle schools) until you reach the 7th grade. Or go to the high school until 10th grade.
shes a 6th grader this year so she will be moving up to the middle school.
she wants to take leadership & really excited for the Honors English. I am happy for her lol.

Your kids sound just like mine. My son was awful in school and our daughter was a perfect student. She got a B in science in 10th grade and I thought she was going to lose her mind. She's now a Sophomore in college with a full ride scholorship and a 4.0 student. Some just care more than others about that stuff. I'm glad she does!

That's good stuff there, tell her to keep it up ... Good grades are rewarded ...

With our daughter I made her a deal that I'd give her $20 for Honor Roll and $100 for straight A's ... This past grading period that just ended a week ago cost me $100. Also she was 1 of 50 kids in our County that just got accepted in an early college program. She will go to Community College full time for the next two school years (11th & 12th grade ) fully paid and graduate with a full AS degree.

I know she didn't get that from me, I was way too busy partying and chasing girls ...
