christmas came early for me this year...Max and Adam brought home straight A's! (Drew is in Kindergarten and only gets report cards every nine weeks)
For Adam, its all about the cash baby. Dangle the green stuff and he will work. I know many of you may not agree with paying children for academic achievement. For me, school is their job, and in life, you get paid for a job well done. This year its $4 per A for Adam, and he spends the cash before the sun goes down on payday.
Many of you know Max, or at least "Max Stories."...He didn't talk until he was four. He struggles to stay on task for even a few minutes at a time. To say he is impulsive is kinda like saying GM needs a few dollars. In short, it has taken a village of people working together to arrive at this point. This six weeks he made Straight A's without modifications. Meaning, work was not adapted to his level, and he didn't have shortened assignments. In reality, Max did the regular classroom work with additional spelling, reading, and math from Mrs. Fink. He is a living example of what can happen when everyone comes together to create an education plan to meet a child's individual needs. I can't say thank You enough to all the people that helped Max along the way. We couldn't have made it this far without each and everyone of you. Thank You!
