Today was report card day and it was the first day time I've seen any indication from DS that he knew about them! I guess this new school makes a big deal about them because as soon as I opened the envelope, a big green notice saying "Elementary A Team" fell out and he screeched with excitement. He said he was sure he had gotten a B, and was so happy to have gotten straight As. They have a pride day next week where the straight A kids get a dogtag and can then collect them every quarter.
Holy smokes! So much for not putting pressure on kids! Now DS wants to get a dog tag every quarter...and we are all about "just do your best and don't worry about the grades." Ugh, ugh, and more ugh! I don't know how to counter it. Nan
