[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my DS is a 9th grader at a local MCPS high school. I just noticed that his grades thus far are really bad two Ds and 3 Bs and an A in Art (he doesn't have grades in all classes yet) but I'm wondering do you think there is still time to get As and Bs if he starts working? I'm hoping he just didn't realize how much harder high school is. We have a tutor starting this week and he will see about making up some quizzes and talking with one teacher about some classwork grades where he thought he turned in the work on time, but she marked it as late. I will help him study as much as I can, but he has to figure out when the tests are in order to begin preparing.

He is concerned but I'm not sure he really knows how to study, I do think he will start working harder though. I'm a little bit at a loss and of course worried that he is doing so badly.

Thanks[/quote]

Remember also that grades this early are based on very few assignments, so doing badly on one can really tank a grade when there aren't a lot of other scores to counterbalance.  While it's good to be on top of this, I'd wait to see what the grades look like once more scores come in.  We've only had 14 actual days of school.[/quote]
