Today was one of the early days, with Mama bringing Chase over to Nanaw's house at 6:45. Nanaw had three People magazines ready for Mama's friend Becky; Mama and Becky carpool most days when they go into the office. When Nanaw picked Chase up from school, he said he had no homework. He'd forgotten to bring his math home and said he was so sorry. He played on his phone most of the afternoon, which isn't really a good thing for him to do. Nanaw went through his papers and found a quiz that he'd gotten a D on. It was for one of the new books they're reading this quarter -- Where the Red Fern Grows. Nanaw went through the quiz with him, and they figured out the correct answers. Nanaw suggested that each day Chase re-read what the teacher had already read in class. He didn't like that idea too much. Then, to Nanaw's shock, he said he should have used his book for the quiz. It turned out that it was an open-book quiz, and Chase didn't use his book for the quiz. Nanaw tried to tell Chase how important it was to use his book when he could for a quiz, but he didn't seem to think it was that important. Nanaw decided she'd have to talk to Mama and Daddy to see if they thought they should start doing Chase's homework with him rather than Nanaw because Chase seems to listen to them more than to her. Nanaw would be sad about that but what it's important is what's best for Chase.
