   #sonOne told me that he went to a parent conference for #GD1, where he learned that she's on track to earn to two "F" grades, one "D-" grade, and one "D" grade. She was playing games instead of doing homework. Naturally, they've taken her electronics and now she has to do her homework in the kitchen instead of her room.

      I refrained from telling him about his "no homework" stage (he was a little older by that time; I think 8th or 9th grade) or his brother, #sonTwo, who did his homework but did not turn it in.
      
      "You did the same thing" is not helpful when he's trying to get his daughter back on track.

      Full disclosure: Except for my sophomore and senior years, I did almost no homework from fifth grade onward. I hated school so much that I was not about to bring it home with me. (10th grade year was because family was sacrificing already scarce meals in order to send me to a school that was not gang-infested; 12th grade was because "I'd hate to mess this up at the very end of such a long journey".)
