[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told some standards are year-long standards so kid not expected to meet them until end of the year. Other standards are where they should be at quarter end. It’s a farce. [/quote]

I'm the poster from 14:15 - That makes sense with how some standards are there multiple times and some are only once, but of course there's no indication which are which. Very pointless. My 3rd grader's teacher seems to have unofficially turned it into a O/S/U grading scale based on graded work completed in class. Therefore, my kid has some Developing and Approaching on things he has definitely mastered. He's not trying and deserves to get a bad grade, so I'm kind of glad the teacher is calling him out, but that's not how these are supposed to work, right? It would make more sense to do traditional ABC or OSU grades. [/quote]

Sincere question, no snark intended: How else is the teacher supposed to assess the child, other than graded work completed in class?
