[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t consider an 80 “tanking” I think your perception of his “failure” his running off on him and putting unnecessary pressure. [/quote] 80% in this grade inflation era is basically failing but the teachers are being nice to keep parents off their backs. I guarantee that "B" is pumped way up with meaningless homework and other busy work. We just went through this with our youngest. DD had barely a "B" overall but was essentially failing every test, i.e. real measurement of material. We got a private tutor and had DD retake the course over the summer--there were serious foundation issues that went undiscovered because of previous inflation. The private tutor and retake over the summer really helped DD's confidence moving forward.[/quote]
