Can you imagine that! <br />The teachers are supposed to post homework online for parents and kids to check but seems most of the teachers don't get to it until a week or two later.

The only way to really win in the end is not to play. You explain to him that his school life is his own. Nothing will happen to you if he does badly, he will only be hurting himself. In the future you will not get his assignments, do his homework or cover for him. He is on his own there. If he really believes this he may in fact surprise you and do much better.Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506141014376919585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742202280973813643.post-3583829829473936222009-09-24T20:37:20.518-04:002009-09-24T20:37:20.518-04:00Have you been listening in on the convo I've b...Have you been listening in on the convo I've been having with Little Dude?
