[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this - a thing? I was just out to lunch with some women I'm volunteering with through my kid's (public) high school, and two of the moms said they make their kids ask for a re-take if their kids get Bs on an assignment.

I would not be upset if my child is making their best effort. If I had reports from the teacher, or I could see on SIS, they were not turning in work or they were getting poor scores on their homework then we would have a conversation.

If they were not turning in work, we would focus on why that wasn't happening on work on developing a system to make sure work was completed on time and turned in. I would be checking SIS more regularly and having my child log into schoology to review what the assignments were. We would put up a white board and track what is due and when. I would be monitoring the process to make sure that they were developing better habits. As they got better on their own, I would back off.

If they were getting poor grades on homework, we would be doing homework together to see what they were not understanding or to correct mistakes made from rushing or not paying close enough attention. I would back off when they started to show improvement and better understood how to approach their homework properly. That should translate to better test scores.

If they were legitimately trying their hardest then my job is to support them to maintain their B and give them kudos for working their hardest. [/quote]
