[quote=Anonymous]I'm suprised to see percentages and number grades coming home in second grade.  DC's child is not great - I am a teacher and know this for a fact - but it worries me that she is actually recording grades on some of the assignments that didn't look right to begin with.  For example, she sends home a "book report" type sheet for them to fill out each week based on whatever they are reading at home.  Unfortunately, the worksheet questions were things like "Who was the main character?" and "What was the high point of the story?" and DC mostly wants to read about dinosaurs and big trucks.  Since he's a reluctant reader to begin with, I'm hardly going to force him to read fairy tales so we can fill out the worksheet.  He does his best with it, but his answers obviously aren't "accurate."  Then it comes home with a grade of 1 or 2 (out of 4) on it.  It bothers me that this grade is recorded because, obviously, I could fill that thing out for him, and I'm sure many parents do.  I'm not sure if I should complain about the grading or not.  It's 2nd grade, so I'm not sure it matters that much anyway, but in K and 1 he got all 3's and 4's on his report card, so this is the first time we're seeing low grades and it doesn't seem to reflect his actual abilities.[/quote]
