Cinder-fella

My son has spent this weekend doing menial, but very physical labor. He has scrubbed the kitchen floor on hands and knees, folded/hung/put away 4 loads of laundry, picked up tiny pieces of shredded paper that had fallen out of a box of glassware, washed windows and has not gotten to play any type of electronic entertainment.

Tomorrow's To Do List will include: Cleaning the bathroom, picking up yard trash, and washing the dishes.

Why? Because he's screwing off in school.

I got a call from the school Friday. His state required testing has been going on since Thursday. He was ignoring the test and after being scolded several times, sighed and started filling in random answers without reading any of the questions. He'd filled in the "bubbles" on parts of the test they hadn't even given yet. So... he ended up in the office.

I wanted to make sure he'd have a pretty accurate idea of what kind of work would be available for a highschool drop out and/or illiterate.
