[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care what the work habits are - that is leftover babyish elementary crap. If my kid is getting As, he has good work habits period. We don’t need the extra feedback.[/quote]

You couldn't be more wrong and naive if you tried[/quote]

An A corresponds to good work habits period.[/quote]

Yeah, no. An A can be had with haphazardly turning in homework and doing a decent job on quizzes and tests. A kid breezing through a class does not mean that they have good work habits. It could mean that they are in the wrong level of a class, maybe they should be in honors or AP/IB, but it doesn't automatically mean that they are making their best effort.

And your kid could be getting an A and then distracting other kids, which would be an issue. [/quote]

This is high school. A kid getting an A in an honors class or AP class is definitely going to get “CO” on work habits. Case in point - my kid got straight As and all COs.[/quote]

There are kids getting in As without COs, they might be the outlier, but they are out there. And there are kids with B's that are not getting COs. I know because I know those kids and I hear their parents complaining about their kids lack of a work habits even while getting A's. Then they struggle in college because they never learned to study. There are some C's and B's that should have been As but the kid had no study habits. [/quote]
