IM with Youngest
Youngest: my math teacher says if any of us do bad on a test tomorrow we get a phone call home so just warning you ahead of time
bb: that's a nasty threat
Youngest: yup
bb: feel free to give him my cell phone number
Youngest: sure thing
bb: I'm not afraid to hear from him or talk to him
Youngest: her
bb: and I'll be proud of however you do cause I know you always do your best and care.
Don't study too long - you either know it or you don't.
Youngest: I think I'll do really well, actually
I think I know it
bb: well, there ya go - and she can call if she wants....but I'm not very fond of threats
Youngest: and she says we should all be able to get 100%
bb: well, I'd say: if you are all equally smart, if you all were feeling well these past weeks,
if you all "get" what she was teaching, then you all should be able to get 100%.
But none of those things are true and I'll be proud of you tomorrow.
Youngest: k
bb: k
(She never called. Nasty business, that. Threatening my uber-conscientious fellow like that. Have a bad taste in your mouth? Go read me today at BeautyHacks, it's much more entertaining.)

Sorry, got off on my own little rant there...
My parents would have gotten a call, by the way. I sucked at math.

Fear never struck me as the most effective learning tool. I mean, sure, it works for some, but definitely not all.
Youngest has her sussed it would seem.
Bitch needs her chakras aligned.
Seriously.
