[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One more thing. Think of the example you set by expunging a B+ in a HS level class for a 7th grader. You said he worked really hard to earn that B+. It took a bit but he figured out the demands of a class meant for kids 2 years older then he is. He worked hard, learned the material, and earned a good grade.

Give him a high five, praise all the work he put in on a challenging class. Talk about what he learned about himself and his ability to dig in and work. Take him out for an ice cream.

We keep talking about mental health issue with teens and how problematic it is and then we expunge strong grades in hard classes. We are teaching kids that only A’s matter and not focusing on the effort that goes in to earning good grades in challenging classes.

I would look at things differently with a C or some notion that the kid was lost all year and didn’t understand the material but your kid figured it out and did well.
