[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree.  Without any connection between an I, P, and ES, my DS doesn't seem to worry about what he is doing and what he is getting.  Get everything right, get a P.  Do something wrong (but who knows what), get an I.  Something magical happened, get an ES.  He doesn't feel like he has much control over the grades so he decides to just do what he wants and see how it turns out.

It is also harder to help motivate because I can't say "work hard and get an ES."  [b]I feel like my message is more "avoid an I.  Just turn stuff in so you get a P".[/b]

Now my kid is going to HGC and I think there is going to be a rude awakening because they seem to require more accountability.  However, there are tons of bright kids who are going to have to go through the grade conversion in middle school and that will be rough.[/quote]

My message is "Do your best." What's more, it's my message for A/B/C/D/E grades, it's my message for P/I/N grades, and it's my message for things that are ungraded -- music lessons, monkey bars, baking cookies, washing the dishes.

Also, I never got any grades in elementary school, and the conversion to A/B/C/D/E grades in middle school was not rough in the least.[/quote]
