[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 540637, member: 6705"] Hon, I'm in the choir too... I have explained to both kids that it's not the actual LETTER GRADE, it's the EFFORT. I was WAY more impressed with Onyxx's C this year in Chemistry than I was with her straight As in 9th grade. And she got the point. (In April she had a D, in March failing with a 21% - and she passed Chem with a 79%!!!!!) And Jett? I look not at the end result but at the effort. He got an "A" this quarter in Science. Sans a 150-point project he didn't bother to do. He SHOULD have had a 61%. So, regardless of what the teacher GAVE him, he got NO applause. He is [I]capable[/I] of As and Bs, so anything less is not acceptable. Onyxx, the same - with a few exceptions like Chem. Good enough ISN'T. [/QUOTE]
