[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my kid is having the same experience. first B .. would have time to get it up by year end, but not by first grading period. adding so much stress[/quote]

Same.  Mine has always gotten up to A or A- by end of semester.  So unfair to look at grades only halfway through semester.[/quote]

Is it unfair though? These kids are compared to ones with equally difficult classes who are maintaining As in them all year. [/quote]

In some of these courses there are no As being given.  [/quote]

And in some other classes that your kid didn't take but other kids did - where teachers don't give As. In some classes they don't count homework or classwork or participation towards the grade and other classes do. In some classes the final grade is comprised of 20+ grades and in others it is very few. In some classes a test has 50 problems worth 2 points each and in others a test has 10 problems, so missing one is a problem.

That's life. [/quote]
