Grades Do Not Define One

from Be The Parent

In this podcast, Debbie, Gilly, and Kelly explore the often artificial methods used to grade children. Although they recognize that grades are an important and lasting part of education, they argue that grades fail to reflect many essential life skills that contribute to a child’s overall growth. They encourage parents to look beyond academic performance and value traits such as strong character and social skills, which play a major role in long-term success.We want to hear from you!
