What do you consider "bad" grades on a report card? (not a test or something like that) Just curious, I know lots of kids who are ecstatic at getting a C+ and some who cry if they get a B-. Also what do you do when your kids gets bad grades? I got a report card and it was pretty bad, I then hear my parents talking about how they plan to punish me, you know take away computer or TV, all that good stuff. That's when I realized how ineffective punishing me is. I get bad grades because I don't finish my homework (actually projects usually) if they want me to get good grades punishing me isn't going to do it, helping me probably would. I need someone to remind me to do my HW, I am probably too old to need that but I do. I need them to say get off the computer and do your HW now, I'm as obedient as obedient comes so if they said it I would without a fight. Basically every time I get a bad report card mom yells at me, asks me why this happened, tells me I'm not going to be a vet and to think of something else to be. Dad says at this rate I won't be able to get into college. They're not helping, it's clearly not working and well my self esteem is low enough as it is to be honest with you.
anyway, how do you handle (or would you handle) bad grades.
