[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the conferences (in November) but the report cards are a joke. FCPS does 1-4 until middle school, and all three of my kids needed the motivation and guidance of actual letter grades before 7th. I don't even show them to my kids TBH. [/quote] My kid is smart but lazy, and motivated by awards/results. He got all 3s in K-2 and continued to slack off and rush through his work. He just got his 1st trimester report card for 3rd grade and suddenly sees a bunch of letter/number grades. 81, 82, 95, 98.... You bet it motivated him to see those low 80s! Now he is more likely to slow down, write neatly, and check his work.[/quote]
