[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much $ are we talking? How people are giving gifts for this?

Are they checking the report card?

Give your kid As in courses / challenges of your own design, and tell grandad about them. [/quote]

Yes report cards are shared and A rewarded.[/quote]

You should stop sharing report cards and, instead, focus on effort.

Two of my three kids has LDs. They've had IEPs since K and all thru HS. I have one kid that is NT.

We focus on effort and willingness to try and to stretch. We have NEVER cared about grades. Imagine my outrage that kids in ES who made the honor roll got a donut at lunch. Two of my kids would never be on the honor roll yet worked so very hard. This is at a school where the principal provided every teacher with Carol Dweck's "Mindset" book.

I complained to the principal, admin staff and IEP team. It's discriminatory and demoralizing to students with disabilities to have to watch their typical peers get donuts while, thru no fault of their own, they do not. Soon after, all kids got donuts.[/quote]

You seriously wasted people’s time complaining about DONUTS?!

Your children will not survive well in life.[/quote]

You think my complaint was about donuts? smh

You'll be glad to know my kids are now young adults and doing really well. One, in fact, works on equity issues. Imagine that.[/quote]
