He is SO grounded!

Brandon has been giving us an extremely hard time this year.  He was always a good student with minor issues we had to address with him.  Now he is a freshman in high school and the hormones must be kicking in.  He hasn't taken his grades seriously. His behavior towards teachers has been UNACCEPTABLE!  He shows them a lack of respect.  He even told one teacher to "Chill Out"!  OH YES, he did!   Another teacher gave him detention and he didn't show up for it.  He has been late to school NINE times because he has missed the bus.

Last week he missed the bus and I took away phone, computer and xbox. He still had TV.  Obviously it didn't work because one week later he missed the bus again.  This time I took away phone, computer, xbox and TV.

He is also going to be benched at this weekends hockey games.   I spoke to two of the coaches and they are on board with my decision.  I was glad to have them agree. Brandon is one of the better defensemen on his High School team and I thought he may not like the idea about benching him.  One coach said "working hard off the ice is just as important as working hard on the ice" and is going to talk to Brandon in school today.

Being benched is going to hurt him the worst. He loves hockey!  I am hoping he gets the point and straightens out!

Last night he tried bribing me to get his phone back.

 He is totally bored!

NO DEAL - THE PHONE IS MINE!
