[quote=Anonymous]I have kids at two different elementary schools and have found that the effort teachers put into report cards varies wildly.  Is there no APS standard for what needs to go into a report card?

As an example, one kid gets a report card with traditional grades and effort scores showing areas of strength and weakness.  They also consistently get comments from all their teachers (including specials) about strengths and things to work on.  I get the impression that all the teachers know my kid and have a sense for who they are and what they're learning.  I don't get essays, but a few thoughts from each teacher.

For my other kid at a different APS elementary, I get a standards based report card where my kid "meets" every standard and I get zero personalized comments.  This quarter I got a list of the units covered and "It was great having Larlo in class this year!" from the homeroom teacher and nothing at all from any other teachers.  Absolutely zero actual feedback.  Is this common?  After an entire year in their class is it unreasonable to expect a sentence about the student's progress?  It's not just the 4th Q report cart--they're like this every quarter.[/quote]
