[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the difference between an A and a B is 10 percentage points,

And the difference between a B and a C is 10 percentage points,and

The difference between a C and a D is 10 percentage points, then

Why shouldn't the difference between a D and an F be 10 percentage points?

All of this is really beside the point, and beyond the original question.   My kid is not heading toward a GED.  She is getting some Fs and will need to start taking responsibility for her future sooner or later.  I think she has not yet accepted that her grades are for HER benefit, not mine.  She'll figure it out.  I think her strategy of doing the least and laying low is going to run out...as it should.  I want her to feel the consequences.  That's the only thing that will change her mindset.  Maybe she'll be ready to take me up on working with a tutor!  You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink![/quote]

If it were my kid, I would want to understand why my kid was struggling. If the struggles are new, I'd want to make sure that there wasn't substance abuse or mental health (depression/anxiety) interfering. If the struggle is not new but just worse, I'd want to make sure that she didn't have any unidentified learning disabilities that she was previously able to compensate for, but now can't.[/quote]
