[quote=Anonymous] Sometimes a "B" can be character-building. She'll double down next time, not coast. I was an all-A student until I got my first truly bad grade on a writing exercise in 10th grade. Oh, boy! I'd transfered into a different school and didn't realize the new expectations. I learned to write better because that "D" was a huge wake-up call. In grad school, I was summa all the way and graduated with distinction. But, oh boy, stats kicked my ass. It was humbling as I realized that this was what other people in my cohort felt about all their classes. Knowing where you have to be vigilant is a gift. I wouldn't knock the B, I'd learn from it---even if you end up being successful in having it removed. Good luck navigating this period. If tutoring or prep is required to keep DC on course, you should move forward on that without stigma. My children have always had a tutor. It's not value-laden, it's just what we do. [/quote]
