[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] One percenters who operate in the corporate world have a different viewpoint. They want kids who are risk takers and who won't take guff. They want a kid who sees a grade of "B" on a test paper as an initial negotiating point.

How is this sad?

Without risk-takers we wouldn't have Apple,Facebook etc[/quote]

I am a "one percenter who operates in the corporate world," and you sound like someone who never got over reading Ayn Rand in high school. (To paraphrase Chris Knight, "Take guff? Who talks like that?")

A B on a test wasn't a negotiating point when I was in school and it won't be for my kids (right now potty training is in the "Needs Improvement" category, so we're not at the letter grades, yet). It's a sign that you could have and should have prepared better. You don't go to the teacher angling to make yourself so annoying that you get yourself a better but underserved grade, you go to find out what you should've done differently so you deserve the better grade.
