[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way you deal with this is to tell them that if he is getting all A's within breaking a sweat then the school isn't challenging his talents and he needs advancement or outside enrichment. If he is sweating for those A'S then he deserves a reward. [/quote]

Nobody wants to hear this. These dopey parents convince themselves their lazy kid who hates school, never has homework, plays video games or scrolls on their phone from the time they get home from school to bed time, and still has all A's makes their genius that much more impressive! It's a losing battle trying to get such parents to wake up. If their kid isn't smart, why is every teacher giving them A's?! They can't wrap their head around systemic fraud to appease parents and administrators.[/quote]

It doesn't matter if the school is a fraud or not, as far as grading goes. What matters is if the kid is exercising to teach their potential.

The school possibly being a "fraud" is a concern about wasting the kid's time vs alternative ways to reach the same or better outcomes. [/quote]
