I am soooo freaking pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son is 7 yrs old and in the 2nd grade, he's actually very bright I'm not saying it cause I'm biased, I mean seriously he's in some gifted classes and he's in 4th grade reading........WELL I just got his f'ing report card home and in math he's making stupid mistakes because he wants to hurry and finish so he cn talk......he understands the math....we've made him pay closer attention at home and his teacher knows he knows what hes doing as well. BUT he will not slow down and do it correctly which has made his grade drop. To me a bad grade on something you know how to do and are in fact good at is not f'ing acceptable. Some of is daily papers are ranging between 100's and 50's I guess it just depends on if he feels like paying attention that day. Anyway the prob. is now his daily average is 81.4%.....test average 92.8%.......responsiblity grade 86.4%........OVERALL average is an f'ing 86%...........Thats just not ok w/ me when I know he can do it ↓

An 86% thats pretty damn Good to me, That a B+ average!!

but if hes used to getting good grades all the time, i would understand why you would be upset.

I got all kinds of grades when i was in school, from A's to F's on Work but most of my class grades were B's ↑

zoey he's just so bright, and I honestly am not trying to sound snobby but a b+ is just benneath (sp) his potential.

I guess I'm being hard on him, I just know hes capable....and I want him to do well ↑

theres only so far you can push kids until they just wanna give up to take away all there parents pressure !
Do what Winnmom said.. shes right... Hes more likely to have motivation if you approach it in a POSITIVE way. ↑

yes....I've talked to him.......i have asked his teacher that i get his daily math papers each day and we will go over the papers together and when he brings up his daily scores I will reward him.......and I believe you do have do be firm w/ a children and let them know you know they can do it......it's not like i'm spanking him or yelling at him.......hence venting here!!!!!! ↑
