[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has always been known at her LCPS school for having really, really good grades. However, this year (9th), she has been unusually struggling in Alg 2/Trig. She managed to pull through with a low A last quarter, but got mostly Bs on the tests. After getting another B this quarter, she started doing math for hours every night, teaching herself concepts before she learned them in class, getting an extra workbook for more practice problems. Just got grades back for the last 2 tests she’s taken and they’re both Bs. DD is devastated because at this point her quarter grade is shot and she’s been working so very hard to improve. She also said that she thought the tests were easy and that she double and triple checked her work. I’m at a loss of how much else I can do to help her. She’s on track to get a B for the quarter, which is very, very unlike her. She has A+s in all other classes. She’s really trying her very best, but this year has just been hell for her, and math usually comes very easy to her. From talking to other kids in the course, she has better grades than most, but she knows this is going to tank her GPA and she’s very worried. Any advice on how else I can help her improve?[/quote]

OP it is really unlikely any middle school kid is known for good grades. There is massive grade inflation so it is hard to tell how many kids have all A’s.

And you have no idea just based on her talking to a few friends if most of the other students have lower grades.

If you think 9th grade has been hell over one B you need to really control your emotions. It isn’t going to tank her gpa. Don’t be so dramatic [/quote]
