[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks 22:51. We have decided to stop putting too much emphasis on good grades.[b] The hard part is striking a balance in making sure DC still understands that school is to be taken seriously and you should still do your best[/b]. After the break we are absolutely letting the reigns up a bit so we arent all so stresses out. 22:54 not out IB public but we are open to a public. [/quote] You didn't ask for advice for doing this, but I'll offer a couple suggestions anyway. If organization is your child's challenge, set a small goal for the week to help build that skill -- e.g. week 1 successfully copy all assignments in the Cj = family celebration w/ice cream on Friday. Week 2 add in bringing home all science worksheets + keep up with the CJ / assignments. And so forth. And talk about what they are learning -- maybe go to museums that reinforce the art or classics lessons. Show that you care about WHAT they are learning and how hard they are working as much as the grades. Good luck and have a great holiday.[/quote]
