She was bitterly disappointed, as two of those B's represented a backwards step in her marks. We think it's quite a reasonable effort. My boy Matthew managed to get all C's or higher, which is cool given that he's got a reading problem related to dyslexia. His reading level went from low grade 4 last year to acceptable grade 6 level this year, so he's made significant improvements. He got 13 A's on his report card - mostly for effort and behaviour, but he did get a few A's in music and art.
