[quote=Anonymous]No. I just think that parents need (and want) more concrete feedback about what the child is doing compared to what they are expected to do.  This focus on "Johnny is working on recognizing sounds" when actually 75% of the other Johnnys and Janes in the same grade are reading more complicated books does everyone a disservice.

If I didn't work in the classroom  I wouldn't have a clue about whether my child is on target, ahead of target, or behind the target.  I think a lot of parents must assume that all is good unless they are specifically told that their kid is behind.  Let's stop telling everybody that they are just fine, and start telling parents that they need to get more involved with their child b/c they are falling behind early on.  The kids have great potential, but some are not reaching it and I think there is a connection with the parents not knowing that they need to work with the child more in some areas.

I hate the pre-authorized comments that the teachers are required to use to... doesn't tell me anything personalized to my child and how s/he is doing.  I was told by a friend that she always requests a conference (every quarter) and I think I'm going to start doing that just to get the personalized evaluation that doesn't come on the report card.[/quote]
