[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you proud of? Grade grubbing?

My DS got 92.8% in Algebra I, 8th grade. It's an A-. No way will he ask for a round up. [/quote]

I thought most schools rounded up automatically?

Either way I think it’s a mistake to now ask. This is t college so that isn’t relevant to this conversation. This is high school (or if Algebra 1 in MS, it’s a high school letter grade). Your son is only screwing himself by not asking for something his peers may be asking for - and they are his college competition.

I’ve told DD to always ask for what she wants. The worst answer she will get is “no.” I mean, if it’s clear ahead of time the teacher is like PP and will hold it against the student, they definitely should not ask. But in my daughter’s experience, she has never had a teacher who is unwilling to work with her or offer her options. She had a 4.8 GPA this year and is getting some amazing letters of recommendation for college, so I don’t think she was hurt by asking. [/quote]
