[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so confused.  My child is above grade level in reading but his avg grade in reading was an I.  [/quote]

That's why this new grading system makes no sense.  Nobody is worried about providing parents with directly conflicting information. [/quote]

Well, actually, you could start with the MCPS explanation of the report card, here:

http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/2.0/reportcardfaq.aspx

and the curriculum guides here:

http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/2.0/outcomes.aspx

And I'm almost certain that MCPS sent home the information about the record card format at the end of the first quarter.

And at least at my school, we had a curriculum night, and the teachers explained about the report card then too.[/quote]

Sure, the district has published a ton of information about curriculum 2.0.  I do not dispute that.  The problem is that it still does not make sense to a parent.  It may make sense to a school administrator trying to create some aggregate analysis of how the school district is doing as a whole, but it does not tell me much about my kid.  No amount of explaining will matter if the system itself does not make sense.  My child got all Ps.  All I know from this is that she did not fail.  I do not know if she is better at math or reading.  I do not know if she just met this baseline expectation, or if she exceeded it by a lot or a little, etc.  It is just not enough information, or at least enough meaningful information.[/quote]
