[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talking with another set of parents this weekend and we're all dealing with kids that are underachieving at school. [b]We don't push them[/b]. We're not looking to get into a GT school. These are smart kids that were very into learning before MCPS. Now they do the bare minimum and get rewarded with P grades. They don't care about anything academic. DS brought home a paper with P on it. It was really bad work and way below what I've seen him do before. I tried to get him to correct it or at least add some more ideas. When I asked him if he had run out of time. He said no and there were doodles on the back of the paper. I asked him why he didn't include his other ideas or go back and proofread. His response was an honest "why". The teacher only asked for 2 points and she doesn't grade spelling or punctation. Why waste the time. [/quote] Why not?[/quote]
