You Know What? Grades Are Bullsh*t.  
Podcast: Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show
Published On: Mon Feb 26 2024
Description: On this episode: Elizabeth Newcamp, Zak Rosen, and Lucy Lopez answer a question from the Slate Parenting Facebook group… wondering what counts as a good grade, and what the consequences should be at home for bad grades. We come in hot with a dismissal of the whole premise. It’s great. We’ll also share a round of recommendations — and then, if you’re in the Slate Plus club, we’re assembling our own toddler book tolerability index.Recommendations: Elizabeth recommends:  This episode of Radio Lab: ZoozveLucy recommends: What The Bread Says by Vanessa GarciaZak recommends: A Light in the Attic read by Shel SilversteinJoin us on Facebook and email us at careandfeedingpod@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today’s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk about in future episodes.
