[quote=Anonymous]My second grader gets grades too. I'm not sure I understand your concern OP. Is it because other kids might be cheating on their homework? That's true, of course, and a real issue of equity for kids without involved parents. But that's going to be true from now until college graduation. Also, homework is probably not a significant percentage of his report card grade, so it might not be significant grade wise. To me, second grade seems like the right time to start recording real grades. It doesn't matter at all long term, but they start getting meaningful feedback and need to start taking school work seriously. If your concern is about *bad* homework assignments, than that's a totally different and teacher dependent issue. Nothing you said suggests that it's a terribly bad assignment - even no-fiction books have "high points" and learning how to decipher that is an important second grade skill to learn. [/quote]
