Unfourtunatly, my dad would have never done any thing like this for me either. So now I'M the dad, and I say lets ride! My son gets good grades, stays out of trouble, and this is just a reward for him making my life a little easier. Plus we went last year for 3 days and it was a blast. Your close enough, ask your dad what it would take for you to do for him to get you here. then live up to it.

Mike - How is it that your kid is getting passing grades but is having to repeat the third grade? Sounds to me like he is getting rewarded for failing.
Having raised one for 18 years, who's graduating this spring ( :scream: ) I couldn't agree more with that statement. Well said.You can't put the bar so high that the kid feels he will never make it. All that happens then is they get discouraged and quit trying completely.
