[quote=Anonymous]They do 1-4 grading scale because they know that kids learn at a different pace, especially in ES, and giving an ES a D in reading is unduly harsh. The scale is based on how well the kids are picking up new skills and mastering those skills. I would be concerned if my child had any 1s and 2s on their report card in ES. 3s indicate that the kid is learning the material and should hopefully grow to a 4 by the end of the year.

You are not doing kids any good by giving them C's and D's in ES. Parents who are involved know that 1s and 2s are problematic. Contact your kids teachers if they have 2s or below on their report card. You are likely to get a conference at any point in the year for kids with 2s and below. Kids with 3s and higher are on grade level or ahead and the teachers are less likely to meet for a conference because those take time out of their workday, which is already jammed, to meet to discuss a kid on grade level. It is frustrating, we liked having parent teacher conferences after the second report card to see where we might be able to help solidify DS skills but he had some 3s and mainly 4s. We did not have parent teacher conferences in 5th and 6th. [/quote]
