[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP but, recently DD got a C in Math and I grounded her off devices until she got an A or B. Does that make me strict or a tiger mother? I think the Tiger mother wouldn't allow them in the first place; she references no sports or sleepovers in her book. I read two of Amy Chua's books and I wish I could be as committed as her. [/quote] I asked the question about the 75 and 88 and I am a high school math teacher. I see a lot of reactions like yours and it is heartbreaking as a teacher when parents place so much emphasis on grades. They don’t see the students break down in tears with us after school because they are trying so hard and are afraid of disappointing their parents. It’s worse when parents take away activities or social activities over one B. Many times it is not from lack of effort. These parents demand As at all costs. The anxiety is overwhelming. The kids will be in counseling as adults. [/quote]
