Unrealistic expectations

<p>We do not reward our kids for grades...didn't do it in elementary school, middle school or high school. Won't do it for college either. The bottom line is that sometimes kids work their hardest in the courses they do NOT get A's in. These are the challenges that we hope they will take. The most we have ever done is take our kids out for a nice dinner when the final grades are in and school is out for the summer.</p>
