[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]At our school, it is very, very data driven. Teachers record lots of grades, send home graded work, etc. The issue you describe is with your school and teacher, not with the new curriculum or grading system as a whole, because it does not have to be the way you describe it.[/quote]

How is everything marked with a P data driven? I would be OK if there were more granular grades being record AND being shared with the parents even if they all ended up within a final "P" range (which is still stupid in my opinion but you could ignore it).

On a different issue, has anyone noticed that math homework and assignments have very few problems on them? The font is extra big and there is lots of white space but hardly any work to do. If using a bigger font supposed to fool us into thinking its deeper?[/quote]

Just as one example, when DD brings home a spelling test, I can see how she did on sorting the words, how she did on the part of spelling them in isolation, and how she did on using them in a sentence. There is a key at the bottom indicating how many correct are needed for P, I or N. Another example, when she brings home writing assignments that are graded, there is a cover sheet listing various elements of the grade, and each element is checked P, I or N. There is a comment on any section that is not a P, explaining why it is not a P. Then there is an overall grade for the assignment.
