The activities were manageable, although they were a lot to keep track of, it (amazingly) was doable with only a few tight calls. Robert has three soccer teams, and Jessica and Devon are running track for the school.
However, Devon has really been struggling since the start of March. It first started when he was assigned a 750 point english project. There was "plenty of time" to work on it according to the teacher, however Devon didn't properly estimate the amount of time it would take to complete the whole thing. He did work on it from time to time, so not to procrastinate, but it is obvious now that he should have done much more earlier.
Well, long story short, it was due on Friday, but there wasn't any way Devon was going to have it done, so he was given an extension until Wednesday (due to the bullying, etc.). Well, Wednesday came and went and he was still a long way from getting it done. So, then his teacher told him he could turn it in on Monday. We worked on it until the wee hours of the morning for nights; I expected it to be turned in…but on Monday evening Devon told me he still wasn't done. I came unglued…yes I did. I'm ashamed to say I was so mad at him, but I was.
Anyway, and needless to say, Devon didn't do anything until he finished it that night and he turned it in on Tuesday - he also went to Track practice on Tuesday and the rest of the week.
