[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in a top 5 private school and I honestly don't care what her grades are. I want her to be in small classes, learn outside of a cookie cutter curriculum and be around kids that think it is cool to learn. She plays sports all 3 seasons and does extra clubs too. The school is very good with a flex schedule to have the girls fit everything in without being up for hours and hours. That they have a normal life. She gets some A's but mostly B's. She even got one C last quarter because she royally fudged up a final test. She didn't need to be ridiculed, sports take away or punished. This is life. She has learned from it and is trying so much harder this quarter. Why do parents force kids to be perfect? They aren't. I just want mine to be happy and confident.
