[quote=Anonymous]If you are talking about “percentage” numbers (95% being an A), most elementary schools I am familiar with do not do this. Many of the assessments teachers use in the elementary grades cannot be boiled down to a percentage. Instead, they use rubrics and other means to determine a grade. As a parent, I am not a fan of letter grades. While you think you know what an A or a B means, it may mean something different to another person. A grade should reflect what a student knows and is able to do - letter grades often include other things that are not necessarily reflective of learning. If you have a question about how your child is doing in a particular subject, talk to the teacher. S/he should be able to tell you how your child is meeting the Standards of Learning and how instruction is meeting your child’s needs. [/quote]
