[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Outside of say high-level chemistry, physics and calculus, there's no reason [b]healthy[/b] upper middle class teens should be getting B's.[/quote]

The Chicago Manual of Style, one of the more widely used style guides in the United States, says:

Capital letters used as words, numerals used as nouns, and abbreviations usually form the plural by adding s. To aid comprehension, lowercase letters form the plural with an apostrophe and an s.

Sorry, OP but your English undermines your point. [/quote]

I'm not the PP, but thanks for this reminder. I would have written it without the apostrophe, but I see it so often with the apostrophe that I would have doubted myself.

However, PP's point it not really undermined by this. I believe PP's point was not that every healthy kid should be [i]intelligent [/i]enough to get As, but rather than they should work hard enough to get the grade. It seems PP feels that with enough hard work any neuro-typical child should be able to get As, and questions why some parents don't insist on this hard work from their children.[/quote]
