[quote=Anonymous]Our teacher (PCES CES) told us at the beginning of the year to expect B's and C's.  The material is at a totally different level than what the students are used to and it takes some time to rise to that level.  I liked the way it was described -- these students would feel for the first time what it is like for most students in school (challenging, requiring work, interesting).

We were told to expect that the grades would rise as they moved through the year.

Personally, we've seen DC's grades move from about half and half A's and B's at the beginning of the year to almost all A's now at the end of the year.  (Can't be sure until final grades come in of course.)

I would assume there are still B's (and a few C's) in several of the other kids report cards.  Remember to focus on whether your child has learned something, whether there is improvement, whether your child is clear on what they need to do to do better.  Try not to get too hung up on the letter grade.   They are being judged to a different standard than those in other classes.  There is recognition of that.[/quote]
