This is an email I sent to Jack's teacher this morning, I think it captures what I wanted it to…
Hey Mrs. Burgess,
So I had to share this funny experience we had at the Jolley home the other night. My oldest son, Brayden, was complaining about math and asked me if he could be tutored in math after school. I told him that I would look into it and see if I could schedule it the same time as Bella's tutoring... just then Jack chimed in and said, "yeah mom, I need tutoring too, I'm getting an S- in citizenship and I need to be tutored in that!". I about died laughing and later, once I caught my breath, explained to him that citizenship focuses on doing what you are suppose to be doing, keeping the rules, not talking when your teacher is talking, and having a good attitude. I told him we could "tutor" him at home but mostly, he has to control his impulses! Anyway, I thought you may get a little kick out of that!
