One of my worst (academically) students showed me his report card. The highest grade he had in ANY class was a 27% (including a 19% in my class). He told me:
“My mom got me a Xbox cause my report card so good.”

Middle School Proverbs 
Well, when you add the grades for each class all up, it has to be an A right?
Maybe. Sadly, maybe not even!
Unbelievable. I had a student whose father bought her a laptop after straight F’s on her report card. Some parents just do NOT get it.
They really don’t. The best thing to give a struggling student must be another source of distraction, right?
My dad used to pay me for my A’s. Anything lower than A- and I got $0! Try to buy an xbox with a report card of B+’s!
Very scary… and depressing
That is absolutely horrifying. My mother in law’s a teacher and she had a student demand more time on a three month long project because he was up all night playing HALO. He actually told her that! She said no, and gave him a zero. When she told me that I bought her a beer.
This whole blog rather exemplifies why I will never be a school teacher. But this post in specific rather sums it up.
You all have my unending sympathy, and good wishes for less… terrifying students in the future.
