[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is, but in my experience it is really rarely followed because it generates a lot of work for the teacher.  
I have been able to get them to do things like check to make sure her name is on the sheet, and check to make sure she filled out all the questions (not turning the test over was a major problem for my kid) -- if not, the teacher hands it back.

If you are in MCPS, most longer assignments have a rubric, so you can get the teacher to give the rubric.  But that's often educational gobble-dy-gook.

There'sa lso methods you can teach for reading instructions -- like underline different parts in different colors.  You can try practicing that with your child.  I'm not great at that, but I've seen people teach that skill.  (E.g., underline all the verbs in the instruction in red, so that you know you have three things to do if there are three parts to the instruction:  "Read the story.  Correct any grammatical errors.  Then write a new ending."   Underline Read; Correct; Write, so you know there are three steps to the assignment.  You can also underline any direct objects in blue.  Story.  Errors. Ending.  Again -- three tasks.   [/quote]
