Maybe he should have studied harder and he would have gotten better grades. Dimwit.
yep…but I’m sure that his “parents” will say that it was the TEACHER’S fault he got the poor grades and will cry about “their little angel” being HARRASSED and HUMILIATED by this teacher with bad grades, while his friends got the GOOD grades. (HEAVY on the sarcasm here folks!). My parents tore my butt up if I had anything below a C in my classes…and I mean by my privileges being taken away for a six-week grading term…no going out on the weekends, not going to the mall with my friends, etc…And you know what? IT WORKED! I had good grades the rest of my High School years…
