CAL received his report card yesterday. We were all very nervous because he seems to be really struggling with Science right now. Seventh grade science is really goofy. They have to do a science fair and it seems to consume every day with tests/experiments and journaling.
Well his grade did go down a little. Last quarter he received a B+ and this quarter it was a B. He has a GPA of 3.8644, with four A+'s, two A's, two A-'s, and then the B. He has an A+ in Pre-Algebra - he definitely didn't get his brains from me.
I am so thrilled with this school, everything is taught to the kids with God as the base. It is amazing and exciting to open up his history or science and have them start with creation.
Now comes the big problem for The Hubby and I, we have to try to come up with a different reward system than we have in the past. I just cannot afford the old system. Maybe I will have a deals of the day system where I give him little things each day for a week. I don't know does anyone have any ideas?
Isn't it funny that in public school his grades were not this good and the work was a joke.

we're trying a new bribe this marking period. In 4 subject (math, science, language arts, geography), if she gets an A, she'll get $20 per A. If she gets all four A's, she gets $100.
Then, if she repeats those A's in the final marking period, it's $50 per A.
And, she has to pay $10 per D.
I expect to make money on this deal.
I'm in 7th grade just like your child and its amazing that your childs grade are good! Well a reward would let them to chill with friends or a game system!?
