Denise,


I completely agree with you, my son is also an underachiever.

I do reward for good grades,first semester my youngest DS made student of the month.All the teachers had to vote and it was on character grades etc. He was also on the honor role. The schools reward,even teachers. He got a certificate for student of the month,his picture is hung in the main hallway.He got an award ribbon for honor role and got to eat pizza with the principal.

I have always believed that getting good grades,keeping their room clean,and picking up after themselves is there job. We give allowances don't we. (well
