David / Math /Responsibility

Normally, I send an assignment for the week to David over the weekend. It includes sets of items for him to review online and/or worksheets. This past Sunday (after we'd had the boys for a more-or-less normal Saturday), we were going out of town - and I totally forgot to send anything.

Got an email this morning:

i did two of the three review items at the front of the review section.

one of them (interior/exterior angles) i couldn't do.

(What he was referring to was ALEKS' automatic putting out review items based on recent work.)

I was totally jazzed that he took the initiative to do some work absent an assignment! Especially in light of some recent, totally irresponsible and typical teenage behavior ...

And, YES, I acknowledged and praised the behavior!!
