He regards his parents as pure evil

Today is the official last day of school for the world's most perfect teenager in grade 10. He was very close to not qualifying for the Diploma Program (DP). At the school Junior attends, you must have one subject with a grade of 3, all other subjects must be 4 or higher, with the highest grade being 7.

The subject he came stumbling close to failing in is English literature. I know he knows, but I doubt he understands how close he came to disqualifying himself for Year 11. Although his English teacher did her best to hinder rather than help him, he has himself to blame.

My husband AKA his father and I have decided that the consequence for his deficient studies during the school year will be that he will read two chapters from a book and solve two math problems every weekday for the entire summer break.
