[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Multiple B’s won’t get you into a DECENT college?

You people are seriously sick. This is not healthy or normal in any way, shape or form. [/quote]

What, planning ahead? Multiple Bs in high school won't even get kids into the program I went to these days. And if they can't manage As in elementary school...[/quote]

Not how that works. I got B's in elementary school and still got A's in high school, undergrad and law school. [/quote]

But the work gets harder. That doesn't make any sense.[/quote]

Of course it makes sense. A huge component of learning is motivation. A kid may not care much about school or be interested in what they are learning in the early years. They may also lack the executive functioning and organizational skills needed to get As. Then once they mature a bit and start learning content that they care about, they excel. My sister was one of those people. I was an organized, detail-oriented rule follower who always got very good grades and now have a PhD. Some of the most brilliant people I have met in the workplace had grades that barely got them into grad school. But they are highly intelligent, out of the box thinkers. As are overrated. [/quote]
