Does your son use an agenda book for school?  I've seen my students open up their books and those who find surprise hello messages/ love notes showing no matter what happens... they have less stress, knowing they can do "no wrong".  I've written on my daughters' actual napkins and ziploc bags so that when they got to lunch they could eat, relax, and know that mommy and daddy love them.  Send a hot cocoa packet with a note that says, "when you get home, I can't wait for you to quiz me with the  hardest test question!"

ask him if he thinks u'll pass the test once u finish a practice, once he says yes, say, 'drinking and driving, here i come!' that should drop his jaw

I think it would be best to write from the heart. Let the administrators know how he/she inspired you personally see if you can get others to write a line or two with their names also. \nExample; Lou  1313 Mockingbird LN anywhere US : Mr/Ms enthusiasm was contagious I never thought I would like math until he/she came along. Sally: etc.

If you mean that your son is in 12th grade this year, I would strongly advise not changing schools. Let him graduate with his class and send him to summer school to improve his writing and reading or get him a tutor. Your son will have to be motivated to improve his skills himself in order for any improvement program to work.

I am a school kid and i know exactly how your son feels, i have no motivation towards my work whatsoever. The only way i can focus on my work is to have everything taken from me. It's not that i doon't want to learn it's just i can't be bothered. So what i would do is ask him if he is actually bothered about his future. If he says he is then tell him that you will take everyhting that he thinks might distract him because then you will be on "his side" but if he says that he isn't bothered about his future then take everyhting away from him anyway so then he will do his work from pure boredom. Dopn't forget to stick to what you say otherwise he won't pay any attention to what you say in the future. I'd also use the technique of restricting the days which he can go out with his friends on, maybe to days at the weekend as usually during the week nobody wants to go out anyway so restricting to weekend wont really affect him but he will think it will and then he will want to work so he can have the rest of the week off.

Send a sealed letter to her through your son or arrange a parent-teacher conference.  Rationally tell her, like you did here, exactly how you feel. Don't dwell on it, just ask if she could be a little more sensitive on this issue in the future. If she refuses or starts to get in your face, calmly tell her that because she is unable to address this issue civilly, you will arrange to have a meeting with her and the school principal.  Thank her for her time and then walk out if you are meeting in person.  If you are on the phone, thank her and then hang up.  Then, call the main office and set up an appointment to meet with the teacher and the principal.\n\nIf the teacher agrees to your request without any hoopla, thank her and then move on.  If you notice any further infractions, talk to her about it calmly.  If she is just placating you and then doing what she wants, make an appointment with the principal.\n\nAvoid negative discourse and you'll save yourself some nasty hassles.

My suggestion is to wait longer.  The recruiter won't have any answers for you.  Although the unit and command try to stay on top of things, the first weeks of BCT are hectic and things like letters home are delayed.  I would say that after he's been there 2-3 weeks, you'll get your letter with his address and the graduation date and location.  Sometimes, if a class isn't full enough, they have to wait a few days at the reception station before they move onto their BCT location and unit.  Don't worry.  He's fine and they're taking good care of him.  The unit WILL contact you with all the info you need.  How often you hear from your son will depend on how busy and how tired he is.  They don't get much personal time at all.  \n\nGood luck to him and please support him in every way.

Ya, you can just get the test done by your doctor, or the local hospital lap for sure with a doctor's order, good luck keeping what is going on from your son.  And if you are wrong, oh boy are you going to regret this.  If you are right, I'm sorry for ya and good luck.

Ask your teacher for assistance with the letter.

Have you talked to your son to see if it is what he wants to do?  If it is, just let him know that it may be a little harder and he may not the get A's and B's he is use to but he can't get discouraged and quit.

Never ask yes or no questions.  Let your son know that when he is ready to talk, you will be there.  I liked an idea that someone else had, play a game with him. Sometimes kids open up when you are not wanting answers from them.

Great letter - I'd be surprised if other parents didn't write in about this class, as well. If they refuse to switch classes, then switch schools. Your son's teacher is not giving her classmates the attention and support they need, and because of her, the students are out of line, able to do whatever they please. It inhibits your son's education as well, and the work ethic he builds in these early years sets him up for life.

You could write a tale about a boy who procrastinated and how he learned not to do that in the future. Good luck with this, and remember to check your spelling.

To think of expectations, write a list of attributes you'd like your child to have once he graduates, and how a school can support these things.  Thumb through the dictionary and look up words that describe how you feel-you can also use s thesarus if you'd like to add in a few 'sparkly' words (not too many!).  Have your child come up with a list of what he wants out of school and maybe select the top three to embellish upon.  I couldn't find it now, but there are lists of 'action words' that are suggested for resumes- you can probably use the same list to describe your desires for your child's education.\n\nTo get you started, as a parent, you'd probably like a:\n\nSafe, caring school environment that encourages academic and personal growth.  You might also like a community where parent participation is encouraged and supported by faculty and staff.
