Scenario One - Boy the older
Where is your test time table?
I can't find it. I must have left that book at school.
Well what tests are coming up this week?
Uhhhhh.... I think.... X and Y?
Ok you know what? Bring your Math book let's revise.
Ohhhh? Can't I just watch just one TV show? I'm hungry/tired/sick.....
Sigh....
Scenario Two - Boy the younger
Come on let's do some studying for your tests coming up.
Why? I don't need to study. I always get everything right.
Sadly... he's right. Hard to argue with that logic!

I finally this year just left every bit of the school stuff up to my boys. Freedom:)
Your boys parallel my girls, only reversed. I remember the day Ella Numera Una DIDN'T get a good grade after not studying...a little bit of a wake-up call, no?
Why is it so hard to get them going on that? I remember those days!
Scenario , what do you mean "sadly" that's awesome.
Two different personalities there. One always gets everything right and the other wants to do something else. My boys are only 6 & 7 but I'm seeing the same trend in them and I'm working to get the one who would prefer to do something else a little bit more disciplined.
He he...sounds like my boys! :)
