Young people in this country are really falling behind in math and losing interest. &nbsp;We need more young people like your son.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bragging-about-my-son#post-905458 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:30:22 +0000 Anonymous 905458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congrats to your son and his proud mom! &nbsp;Well done! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bragging-about-my-son#post-904993 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:01:25 +0000 Kristin L 904993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's wonderful!

The first one was for most improving his grade in math. While I was pleased with this, the bad side was that there was no excuse for his grades being lower before. He has the ability and doesn't find it difficult; he just didn't complete homework or try. So after grades came out 2nd quarter, I threatened to take his phone away unless he improved his grade. I guess I found the incentive he needed!<br /><br />The second award was for reading over 3 millions words - the most of anyone in his class! Fortunately, he has always loved to read and has always exceeded his reading goals (kids need to read and test on a certain number of books or for a certain number of points each quarter).<br /><br />I am just proud of him and wanted to brag a little! I am glad that the school makes an effort to recognize things like this, especially for kids who aren't as sports oriented.
