Homework
It appears Lauren has inherited her dedication to homework from me. She’s on a week without computers because of ‘forgetting’ to do a bunch of stuff, and then yesterday (Sunday) she was working on something that had to be done for sometime this week, without bothering with the thing that had to be done for today. I’ve always stressed when they get good reports that my primary concern is about effort; they got to be smart for free, but making an effort is a decision. I shall try to make the point more clearly in the future.
