She's a bright kid with a bit of an attitude, didn't get along with a few of her teachers and in those cases she got Bs rather than As which she's capable of. So she came home one day and declared she was going to be home schooled. My wife and I said, hell no. But she persisted with her arguments, so we made a deal. If she took one class on the home school program in the summer and got an A, she could do the homeschool program. It was Spanish 3, she finished it in 3 weeks and got a 97%.

But thanks for your judgement, dipshit.
