How does the concept of rewarding for Dean’s List not send the message that it’s better to take easier classes for a more-sure A, than to explore and perhaps take things you’re not so confident about? Honestly, this whole discussion floors me. Aside from “great job! congrats!” I don’t get “rewarding” the kid. It’s not about parental approval at this point, the way it might have been in, oh, say, 3rd grade.
