Report Cards

Staff Reporter Sam Smith                                                                     What do your parents do when you show them your report card? Reward you, ground you, praise you, scold you? I asked a few kids how their parents react to their grades. Some kids said that their parents do not even look at their grades. Another kid told me that he gets his phone taken and is not allowed to hang out with friends any longer until his grades come up. A couple of students responded with, “My parents pay me for the good grades I get and take away money if there are any bad grades.” Some more drastic consequences that came up were that kids got their personal things taken away such as items from their room, their driving privileges, electronics, their doors taken off their rooms or even that their parents went to school with them to get them on task.
