Study Help and Hints

Title: "Carrots and Sticks"

Suggestions:
Carrots OR Sticks:
"If you can get your grade up to a C+ in math, I will let you take drivers ed. If you can get your grade up to a B- in math, I will pay for it."
OR "Your father and I will only pay to insure you as a driver up to the cost of the Good Student Discount.”

“Stay after school with your science teacher this week and you can have your friends over on Friday night.”
OR "You won’t be able to leave the house this weekend unless you make an appointment to meet with your teacher before school.”

“If you get all of your missing assignments in by Thursday, you won’t have to rake the yard this year.”
OR “Your cell phone will be mine until all of the missing assignments are turned in.”

Just some ideas that might help start the conversation about why the grades are not in keeping with the expectations of this family.
