[quote=Anonymous]It sometimes is actually better to get a D or an F in a class than a C because many school systems and colleges will allow a student to retake that semester and then accept the new grade instead of the failing grade in the GPA calculation. But they won't do that if the student has a C. Also because he failed if he is at a public school they will offer credit recovery in the summer for free and those are often really easy classes. So it might be a good life lesson that he didn't do work and failed to learn that you have to turn in work even if the teacher isn't reminding you or you don't feel like doing the assignments. Is your child at a private school? It is actually really hard to fail students at public schools. Was it an honors class? Just make sure he retakes the exact same class or many colleges and high schools won't replace the grade (or they will list both grades but only count the higher grade for GPA calculations). [/quote]
