Mavric Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 She’d accept try-hard ‘B’s, but that was the floor. Grades at Blue Springs High were accessible online for parents to peruse, and Tracy preferred to track progress, or lack thereof, in real time. “’C’s were never acceptable with any of my kids,” Tracy says. “They knew, if they brought home a ‘C,’ they were going to be cleaning house until the next the report card comes out. No activities. No watching movies. No TV.” And if she ran out of chores, she’d call family members to see if they needed anything done around the house. “If they brought home a ‘C’ for a mid-term grade, it was never a ‘C’ on their report card as a final grade,” Mom says. The twins got the hint. Usually. If they bombed badly on a test or an assignment, Tracy would email the instructor to ask about went wrong, how she could steer them right, or to see if they could do it again.

HuskerMerc44 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Sound discipline becomes great athlete. I've seen it happen. Memaw don't ignore nothing. Davis twins sure don't forget those things. NU got a treat on our hands. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Too bad there aren't more parents like that. Not just for athletes, but for every kid. Quote Link to comment
