[quote=Anonymous]While I don't agree with the MCPS policy on limiting the number of ESs or the teacher telling you to tell your DD to stop trying for an ES, it's not a bad thing for your daughter to realize now that she's not always going to be the "best" in her class and that's ok too. That's the reality of life as harsh as it may sound. It doesn't have to mean she shouldn't try her hardest, but trying your hardest shouldn't only be for the purpose of getting the highest grade. Maybe all the teacher was telling you was now might be a good time to teach her that she shouldn't be so focused on what grade she gets as opposed to just doing her best for the sake of doing her best. You (and the teacher) can certainly still keep her motivated to try hard by praising her hard work and notable improvements.[/quote]
