Attitude

Tori started off the school year as usual, struggling a bit. She had forgotten a lot and had to climb back up the hill. She is there now, and her attitude proves it. Instead of feeling dumb, she is now using that as an excuse to not do her best. Christian is the smart one, not her, so therefore, she doesn’t have to work as hard. Case in point, a 65% on her last spelling test. When I asked her about it, she told me she did not care and would write the words she missed 100 times. When I told her that if she said that once more, she really would be writing her words 100 times, she shut up and gave me a mean look. So, the attitude is here, and this week, she is once again resisting homework. She doesn’t want to read her book or study her spelling words and pretty much threw a fit about it last night. Too bad, so sad. She did writer her spelling words, and she did read her book,, and she will be doing both again tonight. Wish me luck!
