Are they demanding too much of her?

I have an 11 year old cousin who has a 13 and 14 year old step brother and step sister. Her step brother gets C's and B's while her step sister get's A's.Straight A's.And my cousin is not so good at math. She even has to take an intensive class in math just to catch up. But she excels in reading. But the thing is, she will get the occasional C in Social Studies, Math, or Science. And when she gets those grades, her parents ground her for weeks, or maybe even months. She once got her Nook taken away and her mom promised to give it back by summer, and that was when she was in the fourth grade and she never got it back. All for a C. Her parents only accept A's and B's.My cousin has tried to tell her mom that if she get's C's, it's because she doesn't understand. But her mom insists it's because she doesn't pay attention. Her dad never grounds her brother or sister for it, but her parents ground her. Are they being too hard on my 11 year old cousin?
