Your daughter doesnt always have to get perfect grades. If you are pressuring her all the time it makes it a lot harder for her to focus on her work because she thinks that she has to impress you all the time. Just ease off her a little and she might start improving.

When you were a kid, did you get perfect grades? Did you guide your daughter in establishing good study habits? Have you been giving her enough encouragement and support? Don't push your daughter so hard. You are making her life miserable. She might not learn to accept failure. Life is full of difficulties and failures. That is one important thing you must teach your children in order for them to survive. Nobody is perfect.

The good thing about grades is they show us where we need to focus a little additional effort.
You need to sit them down and encourage them to do better.
We live in the information age and we must be able to project ourselves in as literate a manner as possible just to get our foot in the door.
Offer to help them with their studies or get them tutoring if they need it.
Yelling and fussing won't do it, because they tend to do the opposite of what you want. But perhaps insisting they get their homework done FIRST before they can do any "fun" stuff would be a good "carrot and stick".
As the parent, you are your kids' best ALLY... you can't be their friend. You need to emphasize that you expect certain things out of them... go to school, study, get good grades, develop themselves as best they can, stay out of trouble, pick up after themselves, and do whatever little chores you assign to them. Not much, really.
You provide them with a house, food, clothes, entertainment and the opportunity for an education... it is up to them to make the best of that opportunity.
Your goal is to get them to become good independent adult citizens. If your kid is 15... you have 3 years to teach her all the qualities she needs to get along in the world... ethics, morals, responsibility and respect.

why do you see a need for perfect grades ? as long as shes applying herself ,doing her best and is not getting bad grades ,then you should be happy. if you push her or punish her when she gets less then perfect then she will care less and will not want future education.

Don't expect so much from her. Not all kids make perfect grades.
