That's nowhere near becoming a perfect student and it isn't even high on the scale of parental pressure.
- crpatino 11y agoThat's what the article said, no how I think things should be. With my own children, I've never make a fuss about bad grades (which thankfully have been few and far between). I do care about them giving their best effort, and let them know in no uncertain terms. But I know plenty of parents that are minimally involved but nonetheless demand "good grades" from their kids. Fooling those into believing their kids are raising academic stars would be extremely easy.
