Packy's Place

Well It would seem that my son is continuing on his quest for mediocrity in his grades. Once again I'm hoping that he will pass. Grades aren't looking too good so far. I guess I hope they pick up before the end of the term/ semester. If this continues, he'll be lucky to be the head Fry guy at Burger King. He has aspirations, but his performance to date isn't supporting these aspirations. I love my son. I want him to succeed. I even want him to excell. Am I asking too much?

Boy has been back to school for just a coupla weeks, and has gotten himself suspended. Wastn't exactly his fault, but still.... pushing shoving match. He's had a group of kids that have been picking on him for some time. He finally stood up to one of them, and pushed back. He could have gotten into a lot more trouble than he did, and I'm hoping the bullys now realize he isn't the easy mark that they thought he was.

Well, It's back to school time. I certainly hope my son takes a little more care this year than last. I don't want to be back in the same spot we were, with his grades turning to crap and the possibility of him not passing. My daughter will join my son this year in Middle School. She.... is excited to be going back to school. I don't think that is what my son is feeling. Although his attitude may have improved. Only time will tell. I've got my fingers crossed.

Well, my son pulled it off. His grades were less than impressive, but he did finally pass. I think it is time to get in his face for the next year. He has one more year of Middle School, and then he is off to High School. He needs to tighten up his act before he gets there.

Just got done looking at my son's grades again for this year. They aren't final, but it isn't looking good. If he doesn't magically come up with some points... he's going to flunk a couple of classes. If he doesn't get a grip on school work now, I'm not sure how he's ever going to graduate from High School. His mother and I can't keep dragging him through to get his work done. I'm guessing his mother isn't going to put with this much longer. It will be either Sink or swim. Heck, he even lost the A he had going in math. Not sure how he dropped the ball on that one. I love my son, and wish for him to be successful. With his study habits, I am concerned for this success. I keep thinking he needs to practice "want fries with that", or something else on par with it .

Well...I just took a look at my kids grades on line. Not looking good. I thought he was happy with band. But that is a D... and I don't know if it can be pulled out. Then of course, it seems he is flunking advisory. Damn, I didn't even know they graded that. With only a few weeks left in school, it isn't looking good. He'll pass of course. He's got an A going in Math. And then some C's, but geez I wish his care factor was higher.

I've created some odd bits of software over the years. If you check the about box, in a windows program, and find a picture that looks like this hidden there. Then it's one of my odd bits.  

I'm not exactly sure why I'm bothering to start a blog. I guess because I clicked on the button in Picasa. :) Possibly not the best reason, but it certainly made it easy to get started. If I find that I want to share things with friends, and family I'll begin directing to this spot. Otherwise, this may become one of the well kept secrets of the Cyberage.
