[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know, but I will tell you that the 2 times (in their whole school careers) that my kids were in danger of failing a class, it was in an elective. For DS- PE one year, and for DD-  art one year.

It used to be these classes earned an A (or at worst a B) for showing up with good attitude, doing the work & trying your best etc. Most teachers still grade that way but not all.

My DS actually got a D in PE one quarter in middle school (and C’s for the rest, after I spoke with the teacher). The teacher was grading on actual skills- things like throwing a football through a hoop from x distance, catching x amount of thrown softballs etc. And my DS stunk at those skills. He has gotten A’s in PE every year both before and after that year. 🤷‍♀️

My DD nearly failed art one semester and ended up having to plead with the school counselor for help. She struggled badly with her pottery assignments, despite trying her best. I think she ended up with a C in there- at the last minute with intervention from the counselor. She did not take any more art classes. 🤣

In both cases, other students were apparently having similar issues. Large well rated suburban public school district. [/quote]
