I'm amused by all the comments following the news story suggesting that the police should look into the possibility that it's an abusive household if the boy is so scared to bring home a bad report card. Do these people have no memory of what it's like to be ten? The shame of a bad mark would be enough to make me want to hide it from my parents, regardless of the fact that my parents would not punish me for it.
