and for the record, that prof made me ready for the real world where bosses have routinely asked me to do things that may make no sense what so ever and yet they sign my pay check

Nifster, I was in a bad mood last night and if I took it out on you sorry— yes there are things that have to be done just because the teacher says so, but not relevant in this case if you read through the posts. She talked to her teachers, herself today, and they said they made some errors and one class the grade went up 10 points, one 5.

I helped raise a niece because of unfortunate family circumstances and I always kept track of her grades the same way. You mentioned wait till college— well this girl just graduated with a BS in Nursing with honors from South Carolina after 3 years. She is working toward becoming a Nurse Practitioner and in a cardiac unit. She's 21, has an honors degree, a decent job and a plan. To the other poster— Minn— on this board who keeps trying to make me feel like a terrible mom, I guess all my “hovering” when she was young worked out. This is her dream job. She's not out occupying Wall street.
