  Case: I am fine with my "C"
Mr. Walter has noticed that when he grades papers and returns them to the students they simply accept the grade and refuse his invitation for them to improve their score. "Thank you very much," they'll say, "but I'm fine with my C-". To change this trend, what could Mr. Walter do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Walter should begin to have individual conferences with the students that are earning grades in which do not show mastery. During these conferences, Mr. Walter should show the students where they are and where they should be for this particular area. Mr. Walter should then ask the student to come up with obtainable goals to ensure the student feels successful. This will hopefully remove the "I'm find with my C-" and create a positive approach of striving for better.

Comments: I agree that having a conference with the students that don't care could change their minds. Some students think that their teachers do not care about them and their success. By meeting with them and asking why they don't care and then working to help them see that with practice and a second chance they can achieve more.
