[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to elementary back to school night and was surprised by how much academics have been watered down. No homework? No grades, some kind of meets expectations? Gifted has been rebranded to AAC, and it’s on the over worked classroom teacher to execute along with mainstreaming ESL and special needs along with teaching mainstream? We are in 2nd - will there be homework by 4th?[/quote] Homework started in 3rd for our DC. We support it as it provided a key window of insight into our child's strengths and weaknesses that we did not otherwise have prior to working through homework with them. Agree re: the stupid "meets expectations" and whatever this standards based grading or whatever it is. How do we ever clearly identify a benchmark? Is this the way all of APS is going? What will colleges use for reviewing high school transcripts???[/quote]
