[quote=Anonymous]Did your school move to the 90/10 grading system?  Where quizzes/tests are worth 90% of grade and homework 10%?  Ours did and it’s terrible.  It benefits no one.  Homework and in class assignments make up the bulk of the class work, then there might be a couple quizzes and tests sprinkled in.  Sometimes teachers will only make them 10 questions!  So if your child gets a 9/10 or 8/10, on that one quiz, it could bring their whole grade down to A- or B.

But with that said, it does sound like she has poor study habits and isn’t preparing.  I’d say no to group studying- especially in 7th grade.  You know they are mostly goofing off.  I found middle school is hard to help your child.  I often didn’t know what was due when, when tests would be, or even the content.  It isn’t like 1995 when you could bring your textbook home and your mom could quiz you over chapter 5 material.  I don’t think there is much you can do other than checking her grade daily and making sure she doesn’t have missing assignments, ask when tests are and make sure she is dedicating time to study.
