Not once in my adult life has anyone asked me about my grades.

As long as your kids are safe, who cares about the honors?

Worry about whether or not your kid can self-motivate and adjust to adversity, and stop looking to others for validation. Teach them to do the right thing on their own, for their own self-satisfaction.

And remind yourself that no one likes working with a know-it-all, a crusader or someone with a persecution complex. It sure sounds like that’s what you’re projecting to the teachers. No wonder they’re turned off.

If I'm projecting a know-it-all attitude it's because for three years I keep finding simple mistakes they've made, including averaging tests and final grades.

I am teaching them to live with integrity and search for self satisfaction.

The one in question definitely self motivates which is why it's so hard on her that this happened.

To bad if the teachers are turned off, they need to do there job despite me if I'm the issue, they're my daughters grades.
