That's always nice. I hope when I do have kids, they'll like school. Wow, I would have gotten my butt whipped for 3 F's. LOL They were strict, but when I got to high school, he seemed to forget what grade I was in. LOL

I agree with this. I had all the book smarts, but wasn't up to par on common sense..lol Now, with all the schooling away from me, Common sense hit me hard. You can ask me all these math problems, find the error in this sentence, and Ill be lost, but ask me how to shot a grade on a yard, or how to run a tractor/ uniloader, or something about cars......And I can tell you without any problems.....LOL
