It really pays to be grade conscious no? Well because I am not.. I am happy whatever grades my boys brought home.. well of course as long as it is not an F or a 75.. As long as I know they deserve the grade.. that’s all that matters. Say, my first born, I know he loves challenge and I know he strives hard to get high grades.. so I always expect him to bring home good grades. As for my second born who loves playing, I don’t bother much if he brings me grades lower than the usual. This school year was bit different though as my second boy’s grade was improving a lot, his report card is all 9!
Come third grading and we saw a line of 8 in his card.. which I don’t mind.. but then my sister pointed out that the 8 on his card is an eyesore, considering that it’s the only 8 there.. and then I got so OC with it and had to recheck all his worksheets and textbooks. I noticed that he got perfect scores on most of the activities. And even if I am quite shy, I asked the teacher to recheck his activities.. turns out, the computation got mixed up and he’s actually a 9 on that subject..
so yes it pays to be a grade conscious mommy 
so from now on, I’ll try to check their worksheets from time to time and be more conscious on their academic standing

Being a grade conscious mom, your kid will also be conscious of it too, good to hear that your child though you’re not that type of mom, he still got high grades, no pressure indeed
tama! dapat natin i re-check baka nagkamali lang naman ng compute si teacher:)
I don’t know why pero in a way I smiled when I saw the photo with the words “Report Card.” I remember my mom and I wonder kung magiging grade conscious mom din ako now that I have a baby na
