[quote=Anonymous]Middle school is the time to learn how to study and meet increasing expectations. It is also a great time to make mistakes. Try to instill good study habits and have your child reflect on their effort vs grades. My child's grades did not slip but she learned that she had to put more effort in if she wanted to get straight A's by 7th / 8th grade as less than a handful in her grade were likely to achieve this objective, according to the principal of her school. DD still does a lot of homework at the kitchen table free of devices and attends de-facto office hours several days after school to complete homework assignments. I am told asks clarifying questions in class and she has learned she needs to participate more in class, all of which I appreciate. Good luck![/quote]
