Dave2, I agree with the spare the rod comment and the get him arrested. I did discipline my boys. What happened with the 14 yr old is that once he starting playing football his coaches filled his head with the dream that he was going to go all the way to the NFL. AND he got bigger and stronger then me in 8th grade. I was no longer able to physically discipline him. The school also pushed the Football star thru 8th grade with failing grades. "We don"t keep them back anymore for failing grades." He got passing scores on his standardized tests so we will let him graduate." So the whole time I was trying to keep after him on his grades, they gave lip service to the Family, School, Football mantra while in practice and action it was Football, Football, Football. ALL my "grades matter" proved to him to be BS.
He also is a total charmer and highly manipulative SOB. Up until I called the Athletic Dir and informed him of my sons failing grades he was a total STAR at the local HS. Oh, and they dod not check grades until end of 1st marking period when Football is OVER!
He called one day from the front desk at school. Asked I get him a Wheaties supper dupper bar and drop it of at school as they had a away game. I got their and the receptionist was all excited I got his protein bar? "Oh, great, he has called me a few times, he"ll be happy it"s here." I was like WT? So i go out to the car. My other son tells me we have to go back in and grab the bar and drive it around to the bus because FB team is already on the bus. I say to myself, My gawd, this kid has this place eating out of his hand. I go back in like a idiot, and there is the 60 something year old receptionist LITERALLY running down the all to get across to the other side of the school to get this "14 yr old" his protein bar. She did not hear me as I called after her. I left.
If I could I would get him fake papers, sign him up for the Marines.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
