We had a project that was about 10 or 15 percent of our grade, and another class reviewed it and gave the project a 30 out of 100,and it got averaged out with the teacher's grade of 90, which gave us a 60. Since it was 10 percent of our total grade, this brought me down to an 88. My parents expect all A's and I already got B's so how do I tell them? Last time, they told me there were no excuses, even though I tried.

There's a lot of different ways to solve this problem.
1. Tell them that it wasn't your fault and tell them that if they think that it's an excuse then call the teacher.
2. Tell them to sit down and talk to them and say that it wasn't your fault (I suggest you try to do it calmly)
3. Acting distressed or annoyed and tell it to them with a sort of attitude in your voice will tell them that you're a little done with the fact that they won't listen.
4. Tell them that you actually did try and that you literally could have done nothing else to fix the fact that the other class gave you a 30 out of 100.
Also, it's my opinion but you're parents seem a little crazy. You can tell them that you aren't perfect and that you can't get straight A's all of the time. Tell them that sometimes even if you try your best you can't always get what they expect. I hope this helps some what.
