  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 try to calm the student down first before trying to talk to her. I would then explain that a B is a still a very good grade, and that it is not the end of the world. I would also tell her that now she just needs to work a little bit harder next time in order to get an A. I would also remind her that there are tutoring and study groups available if she wants to try those.
