[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got final grades for my kid at TJ.  Had final grades of 79.6 (B-), 89.4 (B+) and 89.3 (B+).

Sometimes these things work to your kid's advantage, sometimes they don't.[/quote]

+1. My TJ kid had a final of 79.3, and now has to live with a C+ in math (fortunately just a semester class).  Kid do not do test corrections or retake a low test grade that qualified. Kept telling us there was no way the teacher would give him a C+, the teacher would curve final grades, the final exam would be easy, etc. He emailed the teacher to ask if he should consider retaking the class, and the teacher replied that he got a C+ doing the bar minimum, which showed he was capable of a much higher grade if he put in the work. And the teacher is right.   TJ math has been the first time my kid has had to work hard for grades.  My kid earned the C+ fair and square, and that is on him.    Lesson learned, I hope.

But the same kid had a teacher curve him up .6 or so for an A- in a different class .  I suspect the whole class was curved.  But, it may have been that my kid had a rough transition to TJ, and that his grades jumped a lot after first month. And that he worked very hard in the class. So, I'm glad he got the numb.

What I tell my kids:  you get what you get and you don't pitch a fit. [/quote]
