What Grade Do You Deserve?

The New York Times has an interesting article today about student's expectations for grades. While the article is talking about grades in college it is applicable and has carry-over to high school grades. I think that part of the stress comes from the fact that as students start college the expectations increase another level. As you work to adjust to this increased work-load, it can be hard not to earn the level of grades you had previously.

I completed the last long day of junior meetings today and while I still have several students to meet up with, it was great to be able to meet with so many of my students and parents together over the past few weeks. Thank you to everyone who made the time to come in and meet!
