[quote=Anonymous][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. I tell them that grades are a signal to let us know where learning is going smoothly and where you may need more help. 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!

We have a 7th grader and have to remind ourselves that he doesn’t have the experience to know how to study. We suggested that he review his past tests and quizzes for a unit test, paying attention to the things he got wrong. He was like “that is a good idea.” He came home after taking the unit test and seemed to be genuinely surprised that past test and quizzes informed the unit test. After that we focused more on telling him about the basics of studying and preparing. It is all new to the kids.

Which is why I say talk to your child and ask what is going on. Talk to the Teacher and see what is going on. Support in the areas that is needed.[/quote]

Oh please.  What kind of third rate schools are you people sending your kids to?    Are you trying to say that you needed to “suggest” how study for a test?    That he never knew that?   And he was surprised that the past tests and quizzes would lead up to the unit test?

Learning how to study and prepare is a long process taught starting in elementary school and up to high school.   It shouldn’t be new to a 7th grader.  [/quote]
