Straight A's, when you think about it, are a bit unreasonable. C's are average.why is it so bad to get a C? I got A's and B's when I was in school, but I think that parents and teachers shouldn't be so hard on the students.

Never compare your kids with someone else. It's horrible and I absolutely hate it when my parents do that.

Okay. I think maybe YDI, OP for asking for straight As-the boy is 8! But i don't think there's anything wrong with wanting your children to get good marks. My parents were both teachers, and kind of expected it from me. But, some people (like me) get bad results if not pushed or motivated so in that respect, he has a point. Again comparing to my own situation, I find forcing competition (admittedly self-imposed) can actually help a person do better. But seriously, everyone. You need to chill your beans.

i feel sorry for your son. 8 years old and you're punishing him for not getting straight A's? he has a right to a childhood, back off and love him regardless of his grades.

Is your son's name "Timmy?" because "Ceejay" sounds a lot like " A.J"

Some people just can't get A's no matter how hard they try. I can't due to learning disabilities, even though I have the intelligence and memory needed.

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like Fairly Odd Parents? Ceejay = AJ?

Scolding an 8 year old for bad grades? Did he color outside of the lines? The poor **** is less than a decade old, give him a ******* stick to play with and leave him alone. Idiots like yourself make me lose all hope in humanity.

Don't compare kids to their friends, don't you know that's how they get inferiority complexes?!

Next time don't be retarded...
