[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The girl is going to have a "B" average in these classes.  It isn't like she flunked herself out on her b*tt.

I think it's time to step back and take a chill pill Op. [/quote]

[b]Nearly flunked all exams. I don't know anyone who fails high school classes.[/b] Maybe kids that never show up, I guess?[/quote]

If she is new to AP she might not have studied to the extent that was needed to do well on those tests.

I would talk to her and ask her what she thinks happened.  [/quote]

That was a clumsy way of putting it. I meant she did so poorly on exams that there is only so far grades can fall. I think exam is 15-20% of final semester grade. It was about the worst showing of midterm week a student could have. And not specific to any single hard class, it was a full-on checkout.[/quote]

I'll bet she slacked off on studying.  She may have only studied what she thought was going to be on the test and neglected to study the rest of the material.  Ugh, teenagers!  (kill, kill, kill, kill)

Don't panic, yet, though.  Her averages are probably o.k.  Hang in there.[/quote]
