[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was shocked when I saw my 2nd graders report card. It was all 3s including math (although above grade level is indicated) where he participates in class, completes every assignment and finds it incredibly easy. He also logs 2+ hrs of ST math a week BY HIS choice. The kids is crazy about math.   Then I looked at my other kids and they have all 3s too - even one that put in no effort and has many missing assignments.  Did everyone just get 3s across the board?  I wouldn’t care expect I’m concerned if this will impact his AAP chances given how little data the school already has to go on.  His NNAT was 139 so I’m assuming he will be in pool. Will report cards matter?[/quote]

Relax. It’s first quarter. This is normal as teachers want to demonstrate progress during the year.

Check your ego. Your snowflake is fine.[/quote]

fine, but if they are all 2, the kids with 3s and 4s are getting the stronger GBRs [/quote]

Exactly my point. Additionally, a child that gets the same “grade” in a class they spend so much time going above and beyond and one they don’t even show up for really sends the wrong message to the kids. My twins were opposites, one worked so hard, did every assignment and spent hrs on ST math got the same grade as her sibling who did the minimum.[/quote]

I don't get all the angst about grades in this thread... they're just arbitrary numbers; you don't need to put so much weight on their meaning. Worry more whether your children are actually learning anything meaningful in school, and if not, how to make it better for them.[/quote]
