[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you’ve changed your story multiple times. From “expecting straight As” to “she’s driving this”. Nope—I don’t buy it. Each time you’ve posted you’ve tried to explain that you’re not as terrible as you sound. A spreadsheet of grades? That sounds delightful.

And you had a 2.9? So where do you get off putting that kind of pressure and expectations in your kid? She has your genes![/quote]

Why wouldn’t a 14 year old be taught to know how they are measured in life? Should she not understand in November how to get an A in her class?

Yes, I expect A’s because she can achieve these grades. It’s rote memorization and some emerging critical thinking. In sum, she’s very capable.

As for my 2.9, I clearly didn’t do well in undergrad. Too much partying. I played a lot of spades. I didn’t care about grades the first two years. Young and dumb.

To each their own, but I’m supporting my daughter with her life goals.

You might have gotten a mediocre 2.9 in college, but in terms of mothering you are earning a big Fat F. [/quote]
