Theres yelling and arguing left and right.People say things they dont mean. We've all been there. But when you stop and actually look back, you realize what a bitch you were! People blame. Its what they do. It sparks so many problems globally because people need to blame SOMEONE. This is especially the case with students and parents.
Grades actually do matter for the students that give a fuck. Parents need to learn a phrase that they should never do hard under particular circumstances. "Well, your doing well, but u could do better." As kids, we strive to do well. We stay up late and miss meals sometimes to finish assignments. And if all of that effort results in a B, thats flipping fantastic. Above Average and good to go. As a parent, you should recognize the amount of work that your child does and base your pride on that, not statistics. This relates to the global problem because of this point:
If a child goes from an 85% to an 84%, no one cares. No one will ever bring up the drop in 1%. However, If you go from a 90% to an 89%, all hell breaks loose and students are instantly ridiculed for going from a B to a C. Its just 1%, same as the first example, right? Labels, labels....
