  Case: First B
It is the end of the marking period, and I just gave my final unit test for the quarter. I passed out progress reports to my students at the end of each period. After school, I had a visit from one of my most engaged students who was crying and very upset. Her current grade is an 89.45%, and she says that she has never before received a "B" in any class. What is my next step?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would start by calming the student down, no one can comprehend anything when they are hysterical. I would then explain to the student that earning a "B" is not a bad thing at all and she was literally .06 points away from earning an "A". I would go over the exam with the student to see what areas of the exam she misunderstood. I would let her know that she should be sure to study all areas and use the study guide to the fullest.
