[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being obsessed with letter grades also means you're pushing your kid away from the harder classes.  I was a dual English/STEM major.  That B in Quantum Mechanics was a lot harder fought than that A in Victorian Lit.[/quote]

We had this when my kid was insisting on honors lit, I was worried he wouldn’t manage but this is the only area he is interested enough in to work extra, and even then, not always. I wish I could tell him - take what you want, I don’t care about your grades as long as the class is interesting to you and you learn something. [b]But I can’t as I need to think about GPA[/b][/quote]

No you don’t.[/quote]

Yeah right. You must have a very hard working kid [/quote]

I do not.  My kid gets Bs regularly (and even Cs on occasion!).  I’m not worried about his GPA for two reasons:

1) That’s his responsibility.
2) I understand that he doesn’t need to go to a top university to be a successful, functioning adult someday.  I.e. he’ll be FINE.[/quote]
