Fiona's Report Card
This is Fi's first report card with grades. She's always been a high achiever, measured in unconventional ways. Now there are letter grades. At progress report time, she had one 70% and one 75% - I told her I wanted harder, better work, that I would be happy with B's but that she really shouldn't get a C unless she wasn't understanding something - and she said she wasn't having problems.
So she brought those grades up to B- 's. She got an A+ in Spanish.
We're pleased. One of the things Jeff and I had to discuss was that although we were straight A students, we didn't have to work at all to get it. I think she's having to work for her grades (looking at the work she's doing) and I'm fine with that.
