原本AMERICA LITERATURE 作业成绩为A, 一个小测得了个D, 将当前总成绩拉到了C。 “你现在10年级了，本期待你能越学越好，或者至少成绩不下滑，结果你来了个C！因为心中有憧憬，他也吓得不轻。对于我提出的阅读要求好好接受了。
第二天，他说他读已经读了十页。我说”好，我再读一次，回头考你。“
晚下，当我拿出写好问题的本子，让他回答问题时。他叫起来了”你以为你是老师呀！为什么要布置写的作业。你可以问我问题，我口头回答就可以了。“ 他叫嚣着，表达心中的不满，说着我的可笑。完全表现出一只斗鸡的姿态。
”好，那我考你。“
”鸟类迁徒的目的是什么？“
”从冷的地方，到温暖的地方“
”错。是为了追寻食物“
”哪个季节是鸟类迁徙的季节？“
”夏天“
”错，是春天和秋天“
”对鸟类生存够成的最大危胁是什么？“
”全球气候变化“
”可以说对了一部份。不是来自被猎杀，而是来自人类活动对鸟儿迁徒目的地，或是中转站造成的影响。“
三个问题后，他老实了。。。。
”今天不用读下面的十页，再重读昨天的十页，然后做答我本子上的提问。“
等他看到了用英文书写的提问时，他又叫了起来。”怎么用英文写？
”因为这是提高你的英文水平，所以当然用英文写。“
”不行。你只能和我说中文，只能写中文。不然我觉得很奇怪。“
”你不想我会英文吗？”
“想。但你只能和美国人说英文。不能和我说。”
“但是我也想训练我的英文书面表达啊，这样可以一举两得，我们俩都受益。“
见他犹豫，不知到底是否该接受，我知道他在作心理斗争，他还是很爱我的。
”要不这样，我用中文和英文都写出来。“
”好。“
昨晚他拿这个给我，说是他最新CREATIVE WOOD课上的作品。这条木制小鱼，真是让我爱不释手！
Since his poor academic performance in primary school, I have no courage to pay much attention to his academy reports when he was in Middle school. From my occasional glances on his grades in Power School, I saw his letter grades ranging from D to B+, with the most C in general. From there, I just held the impression that he was one of kid with bad grades, probably the last 20-30% of all the students in his grade. Until a day when he was in 10th grade, we talked about his grades in middle school and I told him my impression by then. He told me his academy in middle school was not that bad, in general, he has average grade.
Year 2020 came the Covid-19 pandemic. Same as other schools, his school was closed, remote-learning became a new thing. He is very knowledgeable on computer and internet stuff. When he was in 7th grade, he built his own game station. So technically I have no concerns on his access to all studying resource. The real challenge came from his poor self-discipline. In regular school year, he didn’t play much game on week days since he knew he has to get up early to take class in school, so he only stayed late on Friday and Saturday nightS. Now, attracted by other gamers which he claimed his friends, he broke the rules we both agreed. The situation got even worse during the following two months summer holiday since all the summer programs were cancelled.
I cheered up when our superintendent announced the schools reopening plan for 2020-2021 school year. Students can go back to school on Sept 8th. Given people’s fears on the novel virus, school offered distance-learning and in-person learning. From our constant arguments about his staying late at night, playing games with others, I knew he has been expecting physically sitting in class again.
“Distance learning and in person learning, which one do you like better?” after a week’s in-person learning, I asked him.
" Distant learning is more relaxing, but in-person learning is more functional for me.”
I was pleased of hearing the statement. From that I knew he wants to be good and would like to put his dreams into real actions.
