What’s an E?

This is one Trenton O’Neal, a high school freshman in Chesapeake, Virginia.  Mr. O’Neal’s parents think that their son has been dogging it in school, as both of them have graduate degrees so their son should have at least some brain pans, so they are punishing him as you can see above, hoping that he’ll be embarrassed enough to bring up his grades.

If I were these parents, I would ask the school what an E means.  I get the feeling that it’s really an F, but the school replaced the F grade with an E, mainly to increase the self-esteem of their dummies and slackers.  At least in Algebra and English, it didn’t work for one of their students.  Also, Freshman Science must not be very hard at that school, for someone who flunked Algebra and English to pass.

Also, what’s with letting him show off his A in Gym?  As if that’s going to help his future.  Skinny beanpole that he is, I don’t see the NFL or NBA in his future.
