Matthew missed ONE PROBLEM on his major math test AGAIN!
He gets to put it on the fridge if he makes a 100%, but he hasn't got one on the fridge yet this year...he has missed one or two each time. And they are not because he doesn't know them, they are middle-of-the-problem mistakes, like forgetting to add in the carried ten or adding in the middle of a subtraction problem! Poor kid...it's all he can do to maintain his composure.
"It's still an A!" I say, as I file it away...but he is still disappointed.
