[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just got our child's report card and I'm a little surprised at how different it is from last year's.  Last year he had mostly "P"s with just a few "I"s and was evaluated on 30+ categories.  This time, his report card shows 10 "P"s and 7 "I"s and that is it.  I don't think he's declined as a student (he's young elementary) but I'm a little thrown by it.  Is this what to expect from the new report card format?[/quote]

Its because the new report card addresses many different areas separately instead of an overall "grade".  Under the previous system, you may get an A and think there is nothing to work on (unless the teacher specifically tells you)  under the new system you may do excellent work but there are areas identified for an improvement and they are clearly presented.

The purpose of the report card is not to make you or the child feel better (and conversely not to make you feel horrible) it is to plainly state strengths, weaknesses and areas to improve on.[/quote]
