  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!)
Someone who is very engaged in class and never wants to let herself down is ideal for a teacher. But at the same time this student needs to understand that a B is wonderful. Suggest that she should help her other classmates out and teach her hardworking skills onto others. Emphasize this grade will not affect her in the long run and it's only a quarter grade. There is always room for improvement and she has the potential to achieve anything she puts her mind too.
