text: Not everyone is an Albert Einstein. Most students are happy with a C on a report card because a C is average. There is nothing wrong with that. B' s are harder to come by as you get older because the material you are learning becomes tougher. Some students, however, cannot absorb enough material to get a higher grade. Their mind won't hold anymore information about a subject, and the student only remembers a few things. Other children forget information. They don't do it on purpose, but it does happen. As you know, not everyone is an excellent test taker. As soon as a test is handed out, all of the information needed to take a test flies straight from the mind. Test weigh more then homework or other assignments in a grade book, so if someone were to get a 50% on a test, that would bring any grade down to a C. Now if a student has a C, they can't participate in sports if you pass this new standard. Teenagers nowadays could honestly care less about school. They come for the social time, clubs to take a role in, and sports to participate in. C is average. Anyone can make a C who isn't trying. Kids do that so they can play in sports and still hold themselves as an average student.
