APS Stupid Report Card Legend: High School.

[Anonymous]

Did you read it? What the actual. I swear. First we had the gym teacher and now we have mr underachievement. Equity is about getting the underprivileged all the supports and educational opportunities they need to learn the three Rs. FFS. I am not an ape. I have two sn kids and fight for them every semester but not for this list of things. For the ability to read, write, do math and think like a scientist. Insane. (on the upside my kids are doing better this year than ever before so the great team at current schools are amazing. I want to thank the teachers, the co-teachers, the IEP team (especially AP of SN) and the case carrier. With you all, my kid's grades wouldn't have improved every semester and for you, I am grateful.)

A – Use of Class Time
B – Responsibility/Initiative
C – Completion of Homework
D – Cooperation/Respect
E – Effort
F – Call for Conference

So to get an F, one must not use class time, take no initiative, no complete homework, show no respect or effort. Those are CATEGORICAL variables. Grades are linear! This is a very basic statistical concept. Based on the above, you could have a A, B, C, D and still statistically make a 90% or 80% in a class. Illogical.

That's not what that means. You get an academic grade based on your tests, quizzes, projects, etc. AND, there's a notes field where you may see some of these letters to give you feedback on non academic things. IME, not all teachers use this.

Yes, in the notes I see that my child is meeting many items, exceeding at a few!!! and only got one ^.

Echoing the PP - you are talking about the notes/comments field where teachers can add information about meeting responsibility, using class time, etc. Grades are separate and based on classwork/homework and tests. Not sure how you drew the line from the commentary to the actual grade. Look at ParentVue to see grades on classwork, homework, and tests.

As PPs said it refers to the non academic skills feedback. They don't give you a legend to understand the academic grade.

This is the PP you quoted. I am not talking about the legend. If you want to see actual scores and grades, then log in to Parentvue to review your kid’s scores for work and tests (formative and summative). That is where you will find the scores that determine the grades for the quarter. The legend is supplementary commentary and has nothing to do with those scores. If this doesn’t explain it to you, then I don’t know what to tell you.

a report card is a 1-pager and this is the legend on the one page.

That's not how it works. I suggest reaching out to your child's teacher with your questions about the report card. Or just read it. The above listed skills are really important to children's success and should definitely be measured and reported.

+1. I’m surprised anyone is actually confused about this. Don’t you see a letter under “grading period” next to each course? That is the actual grade.

Is this serious? Wow OP. You are not bright.
