At DD's middle school they have in their Advisory Room, a certificate where they put these "Seals" they get each semester for academics, citizenship, etc .... and we were shown those as part of this presentation my daughter had to do (new way of doing conferences ... kind of dumb if ya ask me).
Anyway, I asked DD "where are your Honor Roll seals?" ..... DD says "Mrs So-andSO said my grades weren't good enough ...." So I ask Mrs So-and-So "Why does Lane, who's GPA is 3.7 not have an Honor Roll sticker?", she said "I think she needed a 3.8" ......
Ok .... NO middle school on the face of the earth would have a 3.8 GPA cut-off, this ain't Harvard, and were not after summa cum laude .... anyway the Honors cut-off is 3.2 her school, but advisor lady had no clue. (I was calm, and no slapping occurred)
Anyway, just got a e-mail saying DD will get her award, and the one for last semester also, on Monday.
We had a private discussion on telling my kid her grades "aren't good enough" .... View attachment 88406
A 3.8 is setting the curve a little too high for honors lol. How embarrassing for the advisor not to know the cutoff. One would think..... congrats to Lane on a 3.7 -- that is super!


LOL gotta love it!
