I gotta tell ya PC, you're right right right on all accounts here. You HAVE to let them know you're very much aware of the work they're doing, and, very much aware of what they're capable of, and that you expect more than they're giving. You also have to let the teacher know that you're "watching" from all aspects - check. Last but not least, a little positive feedback to OS will go a long way. I know all to well about bringing home a D or F and look the hell out. It's a fine line you're walking but I promise you, (speaking from experience here) when they get to college and get into the things they so enjoy, you'll look back at this and think, wow, they really CAN read and count and and and... and I don't even have to "make them!"
