the electronic carrot.....

During last weeks parent/teacher conferences, I finally fgured out what we can use as a motivater for Richard. Bribary always works. Of course, we have to have something that will get him in the mood to do better and that is....

BattleTech Firestorm @ Dave & Busters in Cincinnati

I really do think that this is one item that we can use. Richard (and William) love to play MechWarrior4 on the computers. This is much better. Besides, we still have about 400 credits on the Dave and Busters card from 2001.

If you have never played in the simulators for battleTech, it is awsome. It is like a viedo game you get into. Actually, you do get into a pod which closes and does everything but shake. I think that they should put in some transducers or actuators to get them moving or at least vibrating.

Sundays there is 5 swipes of your card and you can play from 1700 till midnight. Even though Richard would have to leave at 2200, (they kick the kids out at that time), he really should not be up past that time anyway.

One of the best parts is that Richard's teacher is in on this one. She is going to try and use this to get him interested in the various things he is not intested in. This will be interesting to see if it works.

More as it becomes available.
