My folks had seen the results of my standardized tests before those were released to the parents as a matter of course--my dad was a school adminstrator--so they knew what I was capable of, and when I didn't measure up. C's were bad grades for me, because everyone, including me, knew I could do better. Even B's were frowned on in high school and college. As a result, I didn't make any C's (on the transcript, that is) until law school, and most of those I think I deserved!

But as has been said, there are some students in some courses that won't do any better than a C, no matter how much effort is expended. Parents (and the student, if older and caring) need to recognize this.
