  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!)
First, I would explain that an 89.45 is not a bad grade and nothing to be ashamed about. At the end of the day, the grading is the teacher's call...but if she is engaged, participates, and puts forth her best effort each day, I would bump that to a 90 since it is so close.
