Ok, so today I received my grade report and I got one "A" and 4 "B", but my parent are not happy about it, because they are always complain about it and want me to get straight "A" every time they see my report card...So do you think that this grade is ok or not and yet I tried my hardest...DOES YOUR PARENT COMPLAIN WHEN YOU GOT "a" AND "b" OR YOU NEVER GOT LOWER THAN AN "a"?
yes my parent are Asian lol wtf is wronge with Asian parent, but they are kool still...
 
just tell them you did your best and it could've been 4 d's so be happy with what you have and no, i've always gotten a's and 1 b but your grades are still very good!
 
Your grades are good. However, you hit it when you said something about doing your best. Is that your best or could you have worked a bit longer on homework and done better or studied a bit more? If it is not your best, then maybe they complain because of that. They want the best for you and perhaps want scholarships as they can't afford college for you and want you to go to college. The A's would give you a better chance to get scholarships. Your parents love you.

Perhaps you should talk to your parents. If you think you did our best, let them know how you feel and if you are hurt or feel you can't please them no matter what you do. But be sure that it is the best you can do.

Good luck to you all.
 
That's asinine. If you are trying your hardest and are getting good grades like that, then you have nothing to worry about. You need to sit down and tell your parents how you feel and if that doesn't work, go to your guidence councelor at school and maybe he/she can have a talk with your parents.
 
Dude were asian
my parents do that too.
Your just gonna have to get better grades.
 
Well it depends, Usually parents want the best for you....

But I say the grades are fine as long as they dont drop to
a C D or F...
 
i think those are good grades i mean as long as u tried ur hardest y should it matter. u know wat i want to know? why do some parents complain about there children not getting strait A's? If they tried their hardest shouldn't that count for some thing? in fact i had a friend back in 5th grade when ever she didn't get an " A" on something her parents yelled at her. it just doesn't make any sense. i can understand if they want to see u do good in school but complaining about u not getting strait A's that's ridiculous. i think a "C" or higher is a good grade. good luck with that grade thing i hope ur parents will understand
 
I always got A's and was asked where the pluses were, so you're not alone.

They obviously think you are capable of better and want you to succeed.

If B's are the best you can do (and they aren't bad), let them know you've done everything you can. If you could put those B's into A's, do it. It's better in the long run anyways.
 
My parents say I could do better. Let me guess, you have asian parents? It's typical, they push you to your limits.
 
it depends on what pecenteges your school is going by. I think that if you are getting above and 80% that you are doing well. I get about the same grades as you except a little better, my parents say that they are happy with the grades i get but then they tell me that they wish i would try harder. it is totally normal for your parents to rail on you about grades. by the way a B is really good comparitivly. Cs are average, but not very good. Your school is probably harder than the school they went to and you might mention to them that schools have gotten progressively harder, so you are taking harder classes and thus your grades might not meet their expectations.
 
Well I am a parent of 4 kids ages 9 through 17. Of course I would love to see straight A's but, I am just as happy with B's. I always just tell them to do their best. My almost 13 year old daughter made honor roll all 4 quarters last year and she was invited to join the National Junior's Honor Society based on her grades and character and SHE didn't even get ALL A's. As long is you are trying and not just slacking off, I think your grades are perfectly fine.
 
My parents are the exact same way!!!! There is always room for improvement.
 
I would say their unhappiness stems from believing you can do better. In their eyes, they may have seen further potential in homework or progress reports, and think you can do better with the final grades. Just a guess as there's no way for me to know that information.

I would say they are good grades, though if my daughter kept a consistent straight B average, I would likely ask what she might be having trouble with to keep her from the A.

Your parents aren't necessarily complaining, they just want you do to your best. Myself, I was an honor student, but even then, I only got straight A's a couple of times, other times were one or two B's. Ask yourself what you might be finding even the slightest bit troublesome in those B classes, and if you conquer those, you might see a straight A card. Ask or do extra credit if you have to--sometimes just a couple of points is all you need. Happy parents would be a side effect.
 
I used to get Straight Failing grades, so my parents are happy when I get a D

But your parent's expectations are too high. They know you can get straight A's so expect you to do that, but you have to let them know that sometimes trying your hardest is not always the best option. Talk to them. There is a reason your getting those B's.
