[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No grades. They have a standard such as student can add at grade level. They either meet the standard, are approaching standard, are developing or something else. It’s useless and I don’t even look at their report cards anymore. [/quote] So A B C? [/quote] No letter grades. Just a general description of how they’re progressing. Some teachers use an approach that describes how they’re progressing towards an end of school year goal (in other words no student can meet the standard until the end of the school year because they haven’t been assessed on all of the material yet) and others use an approach that describes how they are doing according to where they should be at that point of the school year, so they can meet the standard all year long. It sucks.[/quote] I’m in Loudoun, and this was the approach used for my Kindergartener last year. She was “progressing” in all categories all year until the last report card, where she met the standard for every category. It was annoying not actually knowing how well she was doing, what areas we needed to focus on at home, etc. Add in communication issues with the teacher, and I’ll admit I am not impressed with this grading method.[/quote]
