Marking  period just started so don't asked for extra credit when you have 90%.......   [/quote]

Are you sure it's the parents? My DD used to freak out about her grades and it was 100% from her. I did not pressure her about her grades.[/quote]
+1 I have been telling my magnet kid that it's ok to get a B for a long time, but they are adamant that they don't want a B. The pressure is not coming from us, the parents.

She sounds like she is anxious because she is on the borderline of a B, so she wants extra credit.

IMO, it's not healthy to have that attitude for a kid. Too much pressure on themselves.

OTH, my kid is super smart, and doesn't have to try hard to get an A (not to mention how there is grade inflation where we are), so if they do get a B, I know that it's cause they are slacking off.  But, they are a senior now, so it's up to them if they want to break their straight A record.[/quote]
