[quote=Anonymous]OP if your teacher wants you to discuss, I'd ask the teacher what approach he/she suggests.

My oldest is in MS and never cared about looking at his report card. So we never discussed or showed it to him because we felt it didn't matter. When he got to MS we told him to check his grades online weekly and then we'd make clucking noises, essentially bugging him or reminding him to e-mail a teacher.

He got tired of our noises, so in 7th grade we told him to manage it himself. We said that if he didn't want to hear from us then he needed to complete assignments and do well. We didn't say anything, though on a few occasions, we made clucking noises about one class when we saw the quarterly grades.

Youngest in elementary wants to see, so we give it to him without comment. He then bemoans that it's not 4s and we tell him that it doesn't matter, that teachers won't give the highest grade mid-year.

That's our discussion. Of course if a specific issue comes up we discuss. [/quote]
