[quote=Anonymous] Ditch the tutoring session for an on-line one at home with a gap after school. I doubt he's gaining much through this. Kid should never be rude to grandparents, but you're setting him up for failure here. I don't know if this is the case with you, but my mom can be very annoying to my tween/teen kids: talks to them like babies, has a higher pitch voice towards them, digs in with joking remarks that really fall flat or are a bit invasive. They love each other but she doesn't have sensitivity to them becoming tweens/teens. There's also a little tension because grandma was the favorite when they were younger but now papa is more liked and now she's amping up what used to work. It's painful to watch, and my kids are polite but not as engaged, but I would never put my kid in the situation where immediately after school and before tutoring they had to deal with her.[/quote]
