Oops Pass

Because he made As and Bs on his report card the first nine weeks and had perfect attendance, Christopher received a Harris card. The card lets him skip a quiz, not turn in homework, get a bathroom pass and gives him an "oops" excuse.

He has decided to execute the oops portion of the card. He is not doing his spelling activity for the week. He confirmed with his teacher that the oops was allowed.

I don't know how I feel about this. On the one hand, he is judiciously using his reward. On the other, he should do his homework.

But what I'm really feeling is rats if we didn't have this thing during football season and those horrible Thursday night games where we got home at 10 p.m. and he had homework due the next day!?!??!?
