[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in 9th grade and had one B+ on her report card first semester. Reading DCUM it appears she is no longer in the running for our state flagship, UVA. Why are we expecting kids to excel in every way at such a young age? Is there no room for error or mistakes? The pressure to be perfect academically, beautiful, popular, etc. at age 14, which is only compounded by social media, is leading to a lot of depression and anxiety. [/quote] The room for error just isn't there anymore. I had a C in high school and a few Bs as a freshman as I adjusted to high school and ended up at a great college. I just checked and my college now has an incoming unweighted freshman GPA of 3.95. [/quote] +1. I got into a popular in-state college with a few B's and probably even a C in my high school transcript (usually higher weight classes, but it wouldn't be competitive today). [/quote]
