Community Flow :: Bad marks & parents :|

**Roman**

Hey, when you guys have bad marks how do you explain it to your parents? I have this evil little slip in some of my courses which has each assignment that I completed with the mark beside it, then the overall average and my parents have to sign it. So there's no escaping.. lol! I usually show my bad mark(sciences & maths) with a really good mark at the same time [Very Happy]

WELL Me..I just say I promise i'll work harder next time lol

Usually I just show them the good marks and they shut up. My parents are pretty casual about marks since I don't usually get bad ones xD

**Hemsley**

Yeah, as long as I am generally doing well, they will just tell me that they wan't me to try and do better next term. I always strive ( if I get a poor mark ) to do better next term anyway, so all's fine.

hm.. i would panic and do a bit of the same as yours. i would have one of my bad marks which i have to get it signed, and get another of my good marks and show it to my parents while im panicing. then my parents would say, "A bit disapointed in you. Keep working harder and maybe we'll buy you a gift next time." and yeah =] but they still havent bought me a gift [Sad]

pssh just show it to them and get it over with. Don't draw it out. Just step up to the plate and take the heat.

My parents are casual about it as well, since I get really good marks most of the time.

That is a good question... really I do not know because my parents, well they didn't worry when they saw my lowest mark as 52 [Shocked]

so I don't really explain it... But my mom always tells me to work harder even if my percentages are above 80.
