[quote=Anonymous]This was the main reason we left for private (although my youngest is in public K)

It truly is as ass-backwards as you can get.  No tests returned home because of policy.  Quizzes, assignments, projects, and papers had ZERO (and I do mean zero) comments, suggestions, where to improve etc..

I as a working mom would have to take off of work early to go to the school to actual see the tests in a whopping 5-10min conference.  Only way they will let you see them.  Most of the time the teachers seemed annoyed I was wasting their time.  Like why should I care what they got wrong?  I already saw the score.  SO frustrating! They will not let you copy any problems down for you to go over at home with your child.  Once the test is done, the move onto the next item no matter how bad everyone did on it.  It was really just an awful system.  No parent I knew was okay with it but just shrugged it off as policy.

In my kids new school, we receive every test, quiz, project, grade home and MUST sign and return within 48hrs or another point off the test.  There are comments written, sentences circled with positive comments.  Errors shown and explained. Paragraph at the end saying what they like, room for improvement.  For math tests, every problem the child gets wrong, they must redo and submit within 48hrs.  If they do, they add a few % back to the test.  If they don't, they lose 2%.  It just reinforces, show accountability, teaches and not memorizes.  It has made such a difference in their work and study habits and attitude.  [/quote]
