[quote=Anonymous]I got a C in science one quarter.  My mother asked the teacher why and she showed her a folder full of sloppy work.  My mother's response was to make me sit down and re-do every single assignment in the folder.  I remember crying, but she sat next to me (doing something else and answering questions) while I re-did the entire quarter's worth of work.  I didn't re-do it for any sort of credit, but my mother told me she knew I could learn this material and do better.  I did know most of it, I was just sloppy about the work that went to my teacher.

I was embarrassed and appropriately scolded.  I knew I never wanted to repeat that again.  It was an excellent lesson.

Focus on the material she bombed for the quiz and the test.  What did she miss?  What is she not understanding that she is FAILING a quiz and a test?  She needs to learn that material, even though the grade can't be change.  Make sure she learns it.

Take her phone away until she can re-take the test (at home) and get a B+.[/quote]
