[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I am not bothered. First, not everything is a P. Second, these are elementary school children, not adults. Third, elementary school is not a competition.

Hard work does result in something different than mediocre or bad work -- namely, it results in you having done your best.[/quote]

Then using your logic, why grade anything? Just tell kids to do their best and no need to have anything graded. Teachers can assign a subjective grade for reporting purposes to the county. It doesn't matter, we patents told them to do their best, no feedback is required. Give me a break.[/quote]

16:48 here again.  I agree with you - give me a break indeed.  Unfortunately, some parents buy into the circular logic of this new grading system.  What happens when all of these "P" students have to take actual assessments like SATs and entrance exams.  Tell us again how none of these things matter.[/quote]
Then your kid must be a damn genius taking the SAT in elementary school, cause last time I looked mudfle and high school reverts back to the traditional grading system.
Not only that but if someone's kid is taught to do their best, and go back and "learn" what they may have missed or misunderstand how is that setting them  up for failure![/quote]
