[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally. Any kid who gets a B is certainly struggling. I mean B basically is a failure, right?[/quote] Well, multiple B's won't get you into a decent college. DD hasn't received any but just started 5th grade and we're wondering what to expect.[/quote] You’re wrong. Students can get into a decent college with multiple AB’s on their high school transcript. This is why many schools don’t give grades until middle school. They have terms like “meets expectations” with other choices and they write paragraphs on the child’s strengths and weaknesses. They also get onto more details, not just Math - B, Science - B. Parents stressing their kids about not getting all A’s in the 2nd grade is wrong. [/quote]
