[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I care more about effort than grades. Did she try her hardest? [/quote] This is a terrible mentality and will set them up for failure later. [/quote] This is the CORRECT mentality. It’s the only one that truly supports the child. If she tried her hardest and got a C, then what else do you want her to do? How do you try harder than your hardest? And how do you get a kid to do that without damaging them? I teach. I see what happens when parents push children to be people they aren’t. I’m the one who sits in the hallway with them, tissues in hand.[/quote]
