[quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if anybody else finds these so subjective and based on the mood of the teacher when he/she is working on them. I know it's 3rd quarter, but looking at my kids' last night the number rubric seems so odd. For example, DD went from a 4 to a 3 in a few of the  music sections - um, ok? And DS went from a 4 to a 3 in reading maps - huh? He loves maps, draws them in his free time, enjoys looking at them (like in a brochure, etc.) so it just seems like these 1,2,3, and 4 so arbitrary and subjective.

Growing up in FCPS, the teachers would have their black grade book with all the scores/numbers (prototype of a spreadsheet) from worksheets, tests, quizzes and all the points were added up at the very end of a quarter. Now my kids are bringing home stuff in their Tuesday take home folder with an occassional 3 or 4 marked on the sheet, most of the worksheets with nothing marked on them (I assume they go over it in class?), and tests with only 10 questions so (missing 1 or 2 questions automatically puts you in the "B" or "C" range).

I can't speak for MS or HS, but just think ES is so wacky with grading (and other things too). [/quote]
