Nora says, “Most kids think that if they get bad grades, it’s their problem. But that’s not true. The fact is, when a kid get a bad grade, it’s like the teacher is getting a bad grade too. And the principal. And the whole school and the whole town and the whole state. And don’t forget the parents. A bad grade for a kid is a bad grade for everybody.”
