Question

How should Janet respond to her mother's criticism in the following scenario?

Janet got a C in science on her report card. Her mother is not happy about this and wants Janet to study harder and bring her grade up. Janet was studying hard, but she didn't understand the concepts very well, and her science teacher is also the football coach and didn't have much extra time to help her.

Janet should _____.

agree to study harder and just keep trying to do her best
say nothing
argue that it wasn't her fault and say that the teacher was too busy to help her
explain that she didn't understand the concepts and tell her mother about her teacher's time constraints

Answer 1

I would say option 4 because the mother needs to know that she's struggling with the concepts and also that the teacher couldn't help her.

Answer 2

thanks
