Do you punish your children for bad grades at school or are you punished by your parents for bad grades at school?

If so, does the punishment also take into account how well the student prepared? A grade of 5 in geography because of a lack of prior study might be viewed differently than a grade of 4 in English, even though the vocabulary was memorized. And what kind of punishments do you have (reduction in PC/cell phone usage, no pocket money, curfew, etc.)

No, there are usually no punishments. A bad note in between can happen and is normal. Here we talk to the child and find the cause (eg learn more, do not understand material…)

It has also happened that several bad grades were brought home in a short time, then it was mostly comfortable learning, which also had a mobile phone ban or PC/TV ban.

No, we never punished for bad grades. At the very least, there is a discussion why.

I've never been punished. Just always put under pressure and once also looked at with a disappointed view. That was already enough punishment. Today I stress more than my mother does. Meanwhile, she says that bad notes happen and you should look at his mistakes and learn about them. So learn from them. This is much healthier for my psyche. I'm starting to relax. This is how I do much less recklessness in the work. At homework and writing, there were more punishments in primary school. If something wasn't proper, the page would be pulled out and I had to rewrite it.

A study has shown that reward and praise makes people better and that negativity, make down or even punishments provide worse performance. So people got worse than they were before. If they were pretty good before, but got bad feedback, they started to doubt and think too much

Very different:
We have always expected our children the grades that corresponded to their performance – a 3 could therefore be commendable and a 2 also be disproportionately bad if they were only from laziness or other negligence.

But:
There were never punishments, but perhaps rewards or even serious conversations, but above all the attempt to identify and close the gaps.

I've never been punished for bad grades. If it was just a little discussion with my mother about it, why? Why?" Have for the rest of the day then phone ban or must leave my TV

As with Rosswurscht: never punishments, but discussions about the Why. And of bad grades (math, physics, chemistry) I really had no lack.

And our two more than 30-year-old children, we could never punish UNFORTUNATELY, because they simply did not succeed in writing bad work. ;

No, definitely not.

I got big with blows, with every wrong English vocabulary I got the schoolbook around the ears and what did it bring?

My sons were raised without any school pressure… the Great has a One Abi, the little one will surely create a two… all super…
