Do the (low or high) expectations friends and family have for their kids ever shock you?

Did it ever occur to you that for some students, a “C” is sometimes the best grade they can achieve? I’d be just as proud of my kid of if she/he had an after school job in the real world as I would if she/he were a straight A student without a job but a crap load of extracurriculars. Not all children fit a cookie cutter mold, and quite frankly, my friends children’s grades (and vice versa) are not my concern.

The thread on this was shut down – probably not a good idea to reconstitute it.

I was trying to reply didn’t mean to start new thread

No worries. :slight_smile: But since the mods have shut that one, we probably are supposed to stay off that topic.

I still see comments on it though you sure it’s shut down? Too bad, because I would love to give the OP an earful!

I’ll send you a private message.

Thank you

Whenever I see the word reconstitute, I think of soup.

Lmaooo

I’m glad they shut that insulting thread down.

I think of sea monkeys.
