We're having issues with our oldest. He's not completing work at school, and his pulling some bad grades on quizzes and exceptional grades on tests. He has one B and everything else is an A.

We can't figure out what is going on. There are some issues with the teacher of the class with the B. I looked over one of the quizzes, and I think the way she wrote the questions was problematic. And his friends are saying that he is sleeping in certain classes.

I have a meeting with the teacher this week and several emails to the principal. And we told him that while he is able to finish his commitment to marching band, he will most likely not be allowed to play in basketball pep band.

"Oh," he tells us. "It's OK. I only need a 2.5 to play in pep."

No, kiddo. Not the school's decision. Our decision. And that seems to have him reconsidering things.

Now, my mother...
