[quote=Anonymous]Some families in our district ground their kids if they get a C or lower. This is not our approach. My kid has issues with spelling, has gotten D’s. I do not ground, punish, offer money for grades, or even discuss report card. There is encouragement from the teachers, peer pressure from the other kids also. With this stand back approach by parent, kid has space to figure it out for themselves. My kids new resolution is to practice spelling more on one day a week, no input from us on that. Letting them figure it out themselves is greatest gift from parent to kid. Of course, some kids might need outside help especially with learning disorder and if so, would hope parent to get them that.[/quote]
