How would you react to your child bringing home bad grades?

I'm going to stress that their only job is to get good grades. The moment the grades suffer, I will assume they don't understand or they're having too much fun. So more attention to the difficult areas with lots of practice til the material is understood or learned, and less time on extracurricular activities.

Lemongrass, cherries, alkaline water
question for the parents that have answered so far - how much time do you spend with your children engaging them on the classes/subjects they are clearly excelling in, compared to those they are not?

Anything under an A wont be acceptable. There are also other intellectual and physical standards he must adhere to.

That's harsh.

My neighbor was like that. His kids couldn't make a B. Got tore up if they did. They did well in school, graduated with honors and all, but resent their dad as adults.

Im not going to beat my child for getting a B gimme a break. There are just certain priveleges that will be associated with all a's and a certain way of life associated with anything less. One is great and fun and the other, is not. Im not going to see my son bring home all a's and be like.

:birdman: Yea nikka thats what you supposed to do.

Nah we celebrating and hes getting big exalted and encouraged. Fathers that get resented dont know when to turn it down and give their kids the love and encouragement they need.

First B he brings home ima be like :mindblown: COME ON MAN WHAT HAPPENED. I know you can do better then this and if the trend continues adjustments to his lifestyle will be made in an effort to get those grades where they need to be.

Its all good till he starts fukkin up, and that a lesson for life. Once you start slacking, you invite a hit to your Lifestyle. A mans work,


Is Never done. :ufdup: and since hes not paying bills he has to do his work in that classroom, and there is no room for error, when you're dealing with these cacs that only want to see my son Lose so their kids can win.

You remember that.

My daughter is an excellent reader
I just buy her books and fall back

My son is doing good in math so we do the homework and move on
His penmanship is not the greatest so I be having him erase shyt and write it all over
He's learning that it's quicker to take his time and do it right the first time than do it quickly and sloppy

I don't push my kids too much with homework because like 90% of their waking day they are doing something school related.

Sometimes I be like fukk that homework and let them play from when they get home til it's time to sleep

I can dig it but you gotta let them be kids too
I had a friend growing up who parents pushed him too hard
When he got older he wanted nothing to do with school, his parents or life
He was strung out looking for handouts for the next high

Why cant he be a kid and bring home good grades? Why does being a kid encompass accepting shytty grades? What he gonna bring home all C's and im supposed to say, well hes just a kid. Stop it bruh. Aint no hes just a kid. Do you reailze where we're at right now? At the bottom. Aint no hes just a kid. There is a time for play and theres a time for work. If he can manage his work then he can play but if he cant manage his work then he wont play until his work is managed. Getting good grades is not as hard as it seems. It starts off with good habits and work ethic. Do your homework every night and understand the material. Kid school is not that complex bruh. He always has his parents available to help him with his studies or get him someone who can assist him better in a subject we may be weak on, but between my wife and i, i cant imagine what that subject would be. Shes the math wiz and i got everything else. Thats why we're having trouble now, we dont like to play harder then we work.

I'm going to be honest...3.5 is the minimum I'll accept. I've made things so much harder for myself not focusing in school, I wish my parents rode me harder. Mediocrity is unacceptable IMO.

My muthafukkin self
:hug:That shyt takes patience tho. Generally, I don't even like kids so when I tell people that I tutor they're all like :why: But idk, it makes me happy when a dumb child gets slightly less dumb and they realize the progress they've made themselves. :obama: Builds their self esteem, improves their attitude, makes them look forward to school etc. It's great man. Now I see why some people become teachers. I could never do it tho

Nah boo, you doing the right thing though. :pachaha: damn you back handing kids or pushing them down the stairs when you aint tutoring or what?
That feeling is amazing though, i know you said you hate kids but it sounds like you are a good teacher, so why couldnt you do it?

You would be beating kids in class huh?
:pachaha:
