[quote=Anonymous]My older brothers had all A’s, or the equivalent of,  on tests and the like with no studying and all 2’s, or the eqvalent of a 2, in effort because they did nothing in class, didn’t participate, and let the teacher know that they thought he was an idiot. The letting the teacher know they thought he was an idiot was 8th-12th grade.

Smart kids can do well in school, even in advanced classes, with little effort. The grade does not reflect effort, it reflects mastery of the material. A kid can earn an A/4, show that they mastered the material, and still be disruptive or not doing other activities assigned when they are done with their work.

I would not be too worried about 3’s in effort, but maybe just ask your child what they do when they finish their work and suggest that they remember not everyone finishes as quickly and that they should find something to read or do whatever extra enrichments the teacher has set out for kids who are done. I would be having a conversation with my kid about behavior if I saw 2’s in the effort category.[/quote]
