[quote=Anonymous]My DS just started 6th grade. I now see that we have been completely shielded by the faux "grades" for years. He is now receiving real grades and I am worried. He has an IEP and receives a lot of services at school, but I can't see anything reflected in his grades. He was getting a few Fs and post complete freak out by me he has gotten some up to C-. My biggest concern is that quizzes and tests count for most of his grades -- and he does poorly on those regardless of accommodations. So my question is, do I just accept that he is a "C student?" I have told him that we expect him to get As and Bs -- but is that fair to him? He does tutoring, both at school and after school. He does his homework diligently (if not well) and actually really tries. I just find it a bit depressing that his grades reflect mostly his poor testing rather than the hard work he puts into completing assignments, studying, etc. [/quote]
