Please don't. Your son may not have deserved it in the first place. Also,
this attitude presents another problem for teachers. At a school where my
mother worked, all teachers had to send glowing report cards home --
because comments like ``Mario could work a little harder in spelling''
resulting in Mario getting a beating that might put him in hospital.
Note that I am not saying that this is what you will do to your son --
but it is one of the things that teachers worry about.
