is the class that doesn't assign homework. She excitedly tells me every day what she did in that class. She loves it! She's in middle school.

Other classes she gets lower grades, sometimes Ds because she didn't turn in some of her homework. What drives me bananas is, she does the work! She just forgets to turn it in.
