With one we were thrilled with Bs and she worked hard to get them. The other has gotten straight As without much effort - I'd be disappointed in a B if I knew it reflected lack of effort.

As long as the child is learning new things, enthusiastic about learning, and we don't need academic scholarships, I'm happy.

I think you could raise the topic with the teachers at report card time. As others have said -- if Bs are the best your child can do -- then more power to him/her.

If not -- then expect more. Only you will know this over time. Some students improve over time too.

My child is a solid B student, with some A's in classes like PE. I'm definitely

My kid is happy and healthy. He challenges himself academically (choosing all honors classes). He's got time for family, hobbies, sports, the arts and friends.

I'm delighted with how he's doing.

Is your child trying? I would rather a solid B student that tried to streach themselves, than one that took it easier and always got A's.

It depends. If the child is working hard and is excelling for his talents and intellect level, then

If the child is coasting and really not living up to his talent and intellect level, then

The grade/level of the student isn't as important as that they try and they achieve as much as they can. And then be happy when they do well. It's a relative scale, not an absolute scale.
