[quote=Anonymous]OP here, yes, the assignments themselves are bad, and they are receiving grades that therefore seem unfair.  For example, a math test comes home and has a picture of seven fish - 3 in the first row, and then 4 in a second row below that.  The question is:  Write the math sentence that is represented in the picture.  There is nothing else but the fish in the picture.  DC writes/guesses "3+4" and it's marked wrong.  In a writing assignment, students are asked to write about what they did over a holiday, and DC writes that he can't remember but then tells about what he did over the summer instead.  Grade of "2" given because he didn't answer the question.  None of this is appropriate from an instructional or assessment point of view.  I have been ignoring it up until now, but I feel like the increased "grades" on papers lately is because she plans to give him low grades for his report card and wants to justify it.  I don't know if I should care or not, since it's only 2nd grade.[/quote]
