[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 4th grader and a 6th grader who are both very interested in their own grades and each other’s grades.[b] I tell them that grades are a signal to let us know where learning is going smoothly and where you may need more help. [/b]Your daughter probably needs some help with math. I strongly dislike it when parents act like their kids get mediocre grades on purpose. Some kids may not know how to properly learn the material, but they are not getting bad grades on purpose! [/quote] You're a great parent. This is also how we approach grades. So we praise, praise, praise for the effort scores because that is really important, and then for the actual skills scores, we know what our kids have to work on and find them support with those things. One of them had a reading tutor for years and finally caught up to grade level and gets good grades now, the other has a math tutor and grades are improving.[/quote]
