When my son arrived home from school yesterday he told me that he didn't ask the teacher for extra credit yet but he still wants to. He is even more worried now, since another group project is due (worth 200 points). It was due as of yesterday, but the teacher is only going over two a day. Well DS said that the girl who was suppose to finish her part, took it home on Tuesday night, and brought it back still incomplete. So he went ahead and finished it because he doesn't want his grade to drop any lower.

I again ask him if he wants me to talk to his history teacher and he still says no. So I am going to let him handle it his way. This grade is very important to him since, like I said, he was a stuggling student before, and now since he is doing so much better he doesn't want his grade to drop. He really wants straight A's again. And he is working hard to get it. I keep telling him to quit worring about it, but I can understand where he is coming from. He wants the A. I think he is still going to ask for extra credit, and hopefully it works out for him. But either way I am going to be proud of my son. He sure has grown.
