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 and sit down the student to explain that a "B" is still an awesome grade. Although its not the grade that they wanted its still high and a good grade. Also say soemthing along the lines of how if they want the "A" in the class, she will have to try just a tiny bit harder next time. "A" students get "b's" sometimes too. My sister was a straight "A" student and got her first "B" in gym class. It was hard on her, but it pushed her to pull harder next time around. |

| Comments: I would not say 'try harder next time'. If the student is this distraught over the letter grade and has always performed well, I think this would diminish their hard work. I agree with the context of your solution, but not the specific wording at all. |
