[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience when your kid gets all 4s every year you assume most kids do as well. When your kid gets a mix you think all kids get these scores and you attribute it to the teacher showing growth. In reality I believe the teacher assigns the grade that reflects the work your child is doing in class. There may not be enough evidence to get your 4. Or your kid is just not consistent enough. Maybe they were and then they weren’t for the last unit. They are not meaningless. Your kid isn’t always perfect. Conversely, A 4 in math doesn’t mean your kid is a math genius. It just means they show consistent mastery of grade level math. A 2 is concerning no matter what. You should be digging deeper.

Agreed. I can see where DS would have 3's in  his reading, there are areas that he is clearly working on. I can see those 3's. I even understand the 2 in writing. His hand writing, spacing and the like is not good. We have been working on it. But if there is an area for him to have a 2 in, it is in writing. We are working on it and I am likely to have him tested for dysgraphia after the parent teacher conference because it has been an on going thing. Everything is is a 3-4 with the math and science being all 4.

But I know that there are kids who are struggling. I was one of those kids when I was a kid and I am sure that there are others in my sons class. I don't think that teachers are inflating grades in 2nd grade and I don;t think that they are intentionally watering down grades.[/quote]
