  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!)
This is another situation where there no such thing as a perfect way to handle it, however, I think that Mr. Walter should try his best to help foster a sense of accomplishments within the student/s by highlighting and making a big deal of example where that student did put fourth just a little more effort.
