What Are "Good" Grades?

OK, I was a super-nerd in school. I always got top grades and was never satisfied with less than an A ... The trick is that now my daughter is in 4th grade and starting to receive letter grades. Obviously it's too much to expect straight A's from her - I don't want to put all that pressure on her (I never recall my family expecting all A's from me - it was a self-imposed pressure). But I really have no idea what to consider 'good' grades, what to praise, and what to feel like might need a little work. I know that grades don't tell it...

He Was Supposed to Have 10 Day Suspension

I posted earlier about my son getting his first suspension. I spoke with the teacher and principal again and found out more to the story. My son was playing with blocks and this little kid came up and started messing with his blocks. My son asked for him to stop and the kid went to the teacher and tattled on my son for not sharing. So my son got worked up (crying) at that point b/c it wasn't that he wasn't sharing, he just didn't want the kid touching the specific blocks that were in his tower. The teacher asked for the boys to go...

Should I Be Honest with Principal

We decided our dd is not going on the out of town trip because the teacher she is assigned to doesn't,t properly supervise the class bully and our child doesn't.t want to go. She will have this teacher for some classes the next two years and would hold a grudge. The woman made the bully and the bullied spend time together and do trust exercises! The principal will be upset and want to fix it but I think this teacher is a dud. She also gave a project over spring break and we had to delay our trip which shows bad judgement too.
