[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids all got all 4s for specials. All 3 kids in every single one. This has not been the norm before -- especially not for 1st quarter. Did something change with the grading policy for those?[/quote] Interesting! Yeah, teachers have told me that specials teachers like to give 3s at first so that they can show "growth" as the year goes on. [/quote] Specials teachers here. Not true. We give grades that reflect the work students are doing in the classroom in real time, not for projected growth. If your kid got a 3, it's because they deserved the 3. Your teacher was trying to sugarcoat it for you.[/quote] I’d assume all 4s in specials means a kid is a delight to have in class. Specials teachers, in particular, are behavior heavy in their grading. All 4s likely means not just not a behavioral issue, but a kid that makes class easier by participating, etc.[/quote]
