Random thought...

IS it wrong to be almost happy that DS (11) is getting his first C on a report card this time? I'd be completely happy if it meant that the work level was appropriate. Sadly, it just means that DS was so bored, he forgot to turn in assignments. However, it still gives me something to use to demonstrate why he needs to do the boring homework. No chance on getting more meaningful homework so we're working on the grin and bear it and just get it done AND turned in attitude.
