It’s sweet, it’s tough love, he printed emojis. Thomas’ dad clearly loves him and wants to make sure he does well in school — which is great. Now the Hornets’ mascot, Hugo, is trying to win Thomas over.
Hugo wore a similar red shirt as Thomas’ dad and stood in the crowd on Tuesday night trying to woo Thomas to become a Hornets fan with promises of assistance. How would Hugo help the boy achieve better grades?
- Carefully and judiciously tutor him.
- Teach Thomas the true meaning of hard work and dedication to make him a self-starter.
- Find out his problem areas and find assistance from experts in their field.
- Purchase learning aids that would make the work fun.
- Find the teacher and threaten to break their legs unless the grades are changed.
Any of these would probably work.
