SO proud of Brandon - he pulled his last grading period up...enough to pass. We were thinking at the mid-term that he might fail Pre-Algebra. Not good, considering he's taken it before, but that was with the advanced class and another teacher's teaching style. He didn't finish the entire semester out in it due to our moving, so he had to repeat it this year. He was VERY upset about that...and as you can see...his grades reflected his complete lack of desire to do anything in that class. We have seriously been on his case all year, but something must have clicked when we said he might fail. Must have been something about having to retake it THREE times that shook him up?
Anyhoo...he was beyond glad that he pulled the grade up. We've been a bit anxious about it.
Let's hope next year he gets into the actual learning aspects of school a bit more. He's just not been a good student this year. Not for lack of discipline, though...considering he's been grounded the majority of the school year.

I know you are relieved! Lord knows I was when we got Forrest's last week. Brandon was so excited when he called.
Isn't it funny, both of them are capable of straight A's and they/we are jump-up-and-down excited that they managed to bring home A's, B's and C's?
Here's to turning the corner...surely next year will be better, ha.
coolio - Brando! very proud of you!
