[quote=Anonymous]This sounds very similar to what happened to my sister's nephew, from her DH's side. They were visiting SIL and BIL, and their two kids. Nephew is very smart, thinking about going into astrophysics in college, in Europe. So, parents asked him, 16 year old if he is ready for his test and if so he can go out with aunt and uncle for dinner. So he said, he was ready, they all went out and had a nice time. He got a high B, or A- on his tests, Europe so something similar to that grade. His parents went nuts on him, screamed at him, grounded him, took his phone away, it was so uncomfortable for my sister and her DH to watch this whole circus! They told them that it is not the B, it is that he lied that he was ready. Sister said that she suspects they would have had the same reaction if he didn't go out and he got not a perfect score. BTW, her SIL and BIL have no college education, she got pregnant at 19 and they were supported by their ILS until some 10 years ago, when her DH got a real job! I am writing all this for a perspective, teens around the globe want to go out, and we, parents need to stop setting them up for failure with unnecessary expectations.[/quote]
