Dear Dominic,
You’re killing me.
I get it: You aren’t a fan of online learning. As I told one of your teachers this week: You are not thriving in the remote environment (to put it mildly).
But you do actually have to do the work until there is an alternative.
Part of your problem is your lack of time-management skills and your habit of prioritizing things like watching “The Mandalorian” over getting your work done.
Do you really want to repeat 10th grade? You’d end up going to school with your brother.
I KNOW you don’t want that. So pull yourself together.
Love,
Your long-suffering mother

Dear Mom, I wonder how “real” all this seems to kids suddenly thrust into online school. It’s got to be surreal. That said, you’re right. Yr pal, Martha

It’s hard and it will be a big price for him to pay if he doesn’t 😦

I find it amusing that you two are texting when you live in the same apartment. Don’t take that the wrong way; just a child-free person here.

Oh, it’s completely insane. But that’s how he likes to communicate. So I meet him where he is.
