Today I got Middle Boy's school progress report in the mail.  His grades are average to above average.

Here's the frustrating part...the teacher comments:

Language Arts - Seldom prepared to learn.  Struggles to meet deadlines.
Journalism - Seldom prepared to learn.  Missing major assignments.
Social Studies - Missing major assignments.  Does not work to ability.
Pre-Algebra - Missing major assignments.
Science - Does not attempt work that needs to be redone.  Does not work to ability.  Behavior disrupts teaching and learning.
PE - Does not work to ability.  Frequently absent from class.  Rarely brings appropriate supplies to class.  Rarely engaged in classroom activities.  Seldom prepared to learn.  Needs to demonstrate respect for others.
Music - Rarely engaged in classroom activities.  Seldom prepared to learn.
Homeroom - Rarely engaged in classroom activities.  Rarely brings appropriate supplies to class.

This makes me CRAZY.  Of course he disagrees with every single one of these comments.  Surely the teachers are making a mistake.  Alll of them?  Including PE?

He can control every bit of this...every single bit.  These are effort and motivation.

Pray for wisdom for me in how to deal with this.
