Apparently every single person in the class got the same questions wrong on the test - so she scaled the grades up a bit already.
Ps and yes, Connor is super shy and anxiety ridden - so that's the big issue here. That's why I was so torn, but he stepped up in the end ( lol two weeks later on the math grade ) and all is OK. I made sure to impress upon the geography teacher that Connor has great difficulty speaking up too, and he was veery kind and receptive. He has great teachers

You should be very proud!
My daughter doesn't have trouble speaking up, BUT, she had never had to ask for help before. Up until 7th grade she flew through school without a care, so to speak. She hit a few classes in 7th grade that gave her pause. She was afraid to ask for help because everyone thought she knew everything. Her teachers were always pointing out that she had over 100% in the classes, etc. and she was afraid she'd look stupid if she asked for help. I think we are past that now, I hope anyway!
