[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, first quarter grades are always the toughest. As explained to me, they grade on where the child should be at the end of the year. So a skill that starts as an "N" (not at grade level in Sept/Oct) should improve in subsequent quarters, if for no other reason than the student matures. Honestly, my experience is always disappointment/shock with the first quarter grades, followed by improvements the rest of the quarters. Part of this is undoubtedly knowledge--okay, be sure to put more effort into your spelling, or remember, even if you know it, you have to show it on the test--and I think part of it is the teachers having room to show the kids' improvement.[/quote]
