Today we got Dragons fourth and final report card for 5th grade. After the ultimate grounding of all time (we were actually running out of ideas, short of sweatshops in Mexico), parents looking over every bit of his homework & grades, parent correspondence with teachers and a family trip to the beach cut short because of bad grades — he successfully brought up every single grade in all of his classes, except one (it was only one point lower).
After a year of classes chock-full of C’s,D’s and a couple F’s (and sporadic A’s and B’s) — Dragon managed to pull off an A, B, C report card for the fourth 9-week period. Even managed to get his overall year average up in a couple of classes– with only 1 D in the final tally.
Wow. We are so proud of him. (And WE’ve never looked so forward to a summer vacation– whew!)
