I'm not a parent, but I think this:
Grades can be a definite indicator of success, but they are not everything.
If a child is getting low grades, they may in fact be doing poorly, but not always does the blame fall on them. The teacher may be doing a poor job in helping the student understand, or they may simply be unmotivated. Sometimes the student just isn't good at something. Certain people are good at thinking through math problems, others have a natural sense of grammar. It's just the way God made us.
In the end, education is very important, but all we can ask is they try their best. Ultimately, we can't place judgment. If children are well behaved and God-loving, and truly trying hard, then we can ask nothing more of them.
