[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I expect straight As, unless there are exceptional circumstances, like a language barrier or special needs. So the B and especially the C need to be addressed because they show the student has not fully mastered the content of that course. Instead of being disappointed, make sure your child understands where they went wrong and how they can have a stronger base moving forward.[/quote]

Did you get straight As when you were growing up?[/quote]

not pp - but yea.

however it doesn't matter if pp didn't. my mom didn't but she expected me to.

you do know that even dumb/academically poor parents ca have high expectations of their child because they don't want their child to end up like them.

OP - you need to sit your kid down, have them read tyler cowen 'average is over' with you.

THen you need to show them things like how even jobs for burger flippers are out because mcd's are using robots to do their work.

He needs the smarts AND the credentials to signal his intelligence (which one gets via being on the good grades track).

I hardly think that getting a B and a C will destine a person to flipping burgers. It may mean the kid has to work it out at community college, but don't stick him in with the dropouts.[/quote]
