[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is so much wrong with this thread I don't even know where to start! For one, why in the world do 6th graders need to even think about what's going on their high school transcript? They are 12 years old, FFS.

And why is a B even a problem? You do realize plenty of kids get into wonderful colleges even with some Bs on their transcript? And you do realize getting into an Ivy college isn't the cure for all ills of the world? And that plenty of people are extremely successful even without a 4.0 GPA?

I'm speaking as someone who is thrilled that my 10th grader completed Geometry with a B after getting a C and D first semester.  Some of you need to gain perspective. OP's child sounds bright and motivated, and I'm sure they'll do great in HS and college. No need to stress about all of this in 6th grade. Let it be and RELAX.[/quote]

I'm this poster and we're all fine here, thanks. I have two older children at Ivies; school has always come easy to them and this is where they belong. My youngest has LDs and worked extremely hard this year to bring up her math grade to a B. I'm extremely proud of her. She will end up at the college that's right for her. More importantly, she hopefully will be emotionally healthy and resilient. [/quote]
