My parents used to punish for grades, made it VERY nerve wracking. Of course, it I'd actually been doing the work instead of hanging around downtown with my miscreant friends during school hours, I wouldn't have been in such trouble. 
Luckily, my kids schools are nowhere near downtown and it's not half as easy to skip school as it used to be. Now they have a system that calls you when the child is out of school...calls ALL your phones, lol.
My girls do well enough, I don't carp about a C, but we discuss working better in the next marking period to get the grade up. A lot of time they seem to fluctuate as to where they are getting a lower grade, so we try and spend more time on that subject.
Heck, sometimes I feel like if I can just get them up and out the door to catch the bus, they should get an "A".
