[quote=Anonymous]Report cards -- I show it to each kid, and we discuss any problems (they are in elem school in mcps so really none as a prior poster said - they basically get all Ps which is average), and goals for the rest of the year. Indiv Papers -- Once a week they bring home a folder from school with graded papers, and I look it over with them and give them postive feedback (generally and specifically) and I also note any problem areas and we discuss and come up with strategies. This is way more useful than the report cards imo because I can see if they are struggling in anything and can encourage them to talk to the teacher and/or help them myself. I also often notice careless grading by the teachers which is really not encouraging to me as a parent ... and I notice when my kids are "phoning it in" which is usually not noticed by their teachers. Ready for the accusations of my being a helicopter parent. I consider myself involved. [/quote]
