ne of my 's tweacher called and said my son was always handing his homework in late. I told the teacher...then put it on his report and let him figure out what he wants to do.

It was HIS responsibility not mine.

He's an extraordinary person in his field.

Same. My children’s grades were always their responsibility my job was to make sure they are, slept and got to school on time. I hides them in high school in choosing tracts (calculus VS statistics etc)

When they failed they knew it was on them. There were terrible teachers along the way. Great ones too. I went to all parent teacher meetings I knew who was who. There were some who were going to be brutal then give my hard working child a fail

Those teachers I’d meet with privately at the end of school year and suggest they simply pass my child or I’d go past the administration silly enough to keep this teacher employed

I was supportive on that level.

But their grades were their own - joy or pain. From early on. Before it matters
