We're official now.
Back on track.
Rolling right along.

Ok, so it's more like full scream ahead.

But still...

I had a parent-teacher conference with my youngest student's mother.
Then a conference with the student.
We now have a game plan.

And a bribe reward system is in place.

Said student will earn this...:

...after one full week's worth of work.  

That means doing ALL assigned work,
AND with no attitude,
concentrating on the subjects that said child does not like and has gotten behind on.

"Well, what about Monday? I couldn't do my work Monday since you made us go with you to run errands."

"No problem. Next Monday will be Day 5. You can have it after your work is done....

Unless you want to do school Saturday. Heh, heh."

So today she'll do her school work.
Today is Saturday.
That kid never wants to do school stuff on Saturday.

Ok.
So she outsmarted me on that one.

But I win since she was gonna get the Treasure Chest, anyway....

Right??
