Does your parents want you to get straight A's?

[Dans La Vie]

Yes.

A = Dinner
B = Spoonful of soup
C = No Dinner
D = Kicked out
E = Sent to relative somewhere in Asia.
F = Death

My mom even has this posted on the refrigerator.
And she sticks to it. -.-"

Hah!
My parents are really supportive if a get a "really bad mark" (i.e. in the 70's/B+).
"Well you know, Phys. Ed. doesn't matter, anyway, so it's okay that you got one there."
Since I've never gotten worse than that, I don't know how they'd react.
A's are considered as, "Aww. Tsk, why'd you get an 87/A there?" And they'd make me feel kinda bad.
But if I get in the 90's and above, I get, "Great!"
And that'd be it.
They worry more about my average, and are fine as long as it's 90+.

On tests and assignments, if it's not perfect (i.e. 100%+ (bonus questions) or 4+ (A+ and better), it's not good.
But that's okay, since I can manage getting 100%+,4+'s and 4++'s.

So no, my parents don't want straight A's. They want straight A+'s.

That way I can become a "doctor/orthodontist/super huge money-making job" or receive "full scholarships to anywhere I want" like they did.
Even though full scholarships are practically impossible (ie. 99% average, 1000 extra-curriculars, 1000 volunteer hours, a job...)

Well, my parents don't really push me into making straight A's. 3nodding
But, they tell me to do my best! ^^
I made straight A's on my last report card. whee
It was really rewarding because sometimes, my parents give me gifts. xd
I heart my Mommy and Daddy! ^^

Parents? They expect me to, hell yeah. So far I'm doing good. Getting As and high Bs. When I get a B, they stare me down and sometimes hit me..
Failing? They try to get me out of the house for the weekend.  

[tehmagicalboxfairy]

yeah, im in 8th grade and my parents are sending me to SAT practice classes stare rolleyes  

[the r e v e r i e]

My parents want me to get As and Bs... But one B- and they start yelling at me to do better. o.o
If I ever get an F, I'll probably get kicked out of the house. D:
And they don't kid around when they say that.

[l-DRIG-l]

[kuinluvsnear]

my parents tell me 2 do the best i can but now they want me 2 go 2this summer camp so i can do better in school..  

[Galaxy Shark]

I just got a 4.3 on last semester and my dad still thinks I'm retarded.
lol  

[Khmlwugh]

Yes, they do. But it's only because they expect me to get As all the time anyways. So, every time I get like a B, they're all like, " Why did you get a B? We know you can do better than that." But the thing is, I don't get under A minuses anyways.

 

[Pineapple Hair]

Psh, of course. What Asian parents doesn't want their child getting straight A's? XP  

[xxHaileyBaby20xx]

hmmm...lol they don't "push" me, but they subliminally hints at me...as to what would happen if I don't do well........once, my mom pointed to some teenage..well some 20-something yr old chick salesperson in some azn clothing store....shes like.........u wanna become like her? ........but whatever...I have 1.5 yr until I get my Bachelor in Science...so i "highly" doubt i'd end up like that...  

[AnimeRoxxs]

Yea...
sweatdrop sweatdrop
if I get a B- or lower I get stuff taken away  

[XxSekaixX]

I'm sort of expected to get around 90%...
