Do you reward Deans List?

So I’m sitting here with my mouth hanging open. All of you with kids who made deans list all semesters!!! There’s got to be a correlation to you all being on CC. Maybe all the smartypants parents cruise these types of sites. Meanwhile (ahem) at our house and back in the day when we went to college, deans list was not the norm. By no means are we morons, but still our grades were high c’s and b’s. As for our kids, they all do great in elem thru high school but once in college they found they’d inherited the family party gene. Oldest found herself with tons of friends at the end of her 4 years but barely made it through her accounting major. Lucky for her she did learn lots and is LOVING her life working in statistical advertising and accounting.

So I guess we were on the right path with the pat on the back/high five and the occasional dinner out.

with 4 kids I suppose I could have another deans lister in there. As for expectations being high, sorry folks, we held em to the highest and held academics in high esteem all through their growing years. Oh heck, it’s probably all spongebob’s fault, but life without him? Horrors…
