Grade Conscious Mommy

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 🙂
