[quote=Anonymous]I thought I was seeing things and went back and checked - DC's grades on the report mailed home after the 2nd term were lackluster (several B-minuses, a C). DC is capable of much more so we enacted some rules around homework and studying for tests.

When we got the 3rd term grades (which were even more disappointing!) I noticed that those 2nd term grades had actually gone up, and I went back and compared them to the paper copy I had saved. A couple of the grades had indeed gone up, and this was also true of DC's 1st term grades - the paper copy mailed home had lower grades than were reflected in the most recent mailing.

So what is going on? Are teachers being slow to input all the work and assignments? I was super-frustrated with some interim reports that showed low marks and DC said the teacher was behind in entering all the assignments into Aspen. When I logged into the system myself I discovered that some classes had almost no assignments updated with only a few weeks left to go in the term.

How are parents supposed to know what their students' grades are if they seem to be a moving target? Does this happen at other schools in the city? I know teachers have a lot to do, but grading assignments and entering grades into the system should be pretty high on the list IMO.[/quote]
