My 13 year old 7th grader is having motivation problems. He doesn't want to do anything with school, and even after I force him to do his homework, he forgets to turn it in. He failed 2 classes last semester and might have to retake them in 8th grade if he wants to go on to high school. Despite my best efforts, I want to strangle him. So, yesterday we went down to the farm store and looked at shotguns. The deal is, B's in all classes along with no bad citizen marks. The farm store had a Rossi 20 ga, .22lr combo for under $200 (barely) and some 20 ga pumps between the $200-$300 range. I think they are Rossi dealers, so I can problem special request one, and they can order it without much hassle. I think a 20 ga/ .223 combo would be better for him. Of course, if he wants a pump, we will go for that instead. I want to keep it as close to $200 as possible. He seemed really excited, lets see if it works.
