Well, this is interesting. My daughter, who had barely eked out a B in Science, is now looking at a possible A for the course. Not guaranteed, but possible.
Now, I know that this says nothing about her other courses; she says she is just shy of a B for History, has a B in French, and we don't know how she's doing in the other two core courses (English and Geometry). She's been having trouble with them -- in English, she can't get the hang of interpreting stories -- so her grades could well end up across the board. I hope she does well in all of them, of course. She's certainly taking it seriously - in fact, she mentioned that although she did not like it when we pushed her, she now feels that it was worthwhile. How about that!
It's encouraging. Maybe there is something to stepping slightly back and letting them take responsibility for their lives.
