[quote=Anonymous]Everything is fine as long as he knew about this consequence. When you turned the homework problem over to him, he should have understood the consequences. If he thought it would just mean bad grades, then springing the ski trip penalty on him last minute is less than ideal. You can still do it, obviously, and arguably he should have seen it coming. But ideally I think he should know the conditions for the ski trip in advance. Anyway though yes, hitting a consequence is often very ugly. Think of it this way, if you give him more rope, it’s a longer drop and a sharper jerk at the bottom. [/quote]
