      If by “coaching”, you meant scolding and punishing you for not keeping A’s. Then same

        I once got in trouble because I got an A-minus on a report card because “it should have been an A.”

        For sure, but with that scolding and punishing also comes with a certain amount of support(normally), like actually knowing what you classes are, what assignments you have, what projects you should be working on, and in many cases, providing active feedback on those items (if not just doing it for them).

        Many kids, such as myself, had none of that. My parent knew what I was up to by the report card they got, and that’s about it.
