[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, I agree completely as well.

I have given up on discerning any useful information from the report card - with the exception of the standardized test scores.  That at least tells me something.

[b]My 4th grade DD constantly misspells 1-2 words on her spelling test every week.  And every week she receives a P.  I know she is capable (with some more effort) of spelling 100% correctly.  But how to motivate?[/b]

And for those who say that she should somehow be intrinsically motivated to do better (and not by grades), I say, get. real.  Grades motivated me all the way through high school, to a top college, to a top law school, to a top law firm.  What's wrong with being motivated to achieve a certain grade to achieve a goal?

I don't know. How do you motivate her to do other things that she doesn't want to do but you want her to do?

And I don't think that there's anything wrong with being motivated by grades. I do think that there is something wrong with being motivated only by grades, especially in elementary school. If you don't have intrinsic motivation, then you go to your top college to your top law school to your top law firm to...what?[/quote]
