I'm taking a more hands-off approach and letting him learn to manage his own schooling.
AdvertisementIn Florida, where we live, third grade is the first school year students are issued grades in their four core subjects.
I'm a teacher myself, and the possibility of my son failing an entire grade felt like a failure on my part.
I'm simply asking my son why he's getting these grades and what he might do to raise them.
While getting good grades is a reward for working hard, getting poor grades should also serve as a reflection opportunity on what you could have done differently.
