[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As for letter grades... why shouldn't a third, fourth, fifth or sixth grader be rewarded with an A if they are doing very well. [b]I think letter grades can motivate students and can give students pride.[/b] It has nothing to do with bragging about my kid. Grades are the reward for good work. [/quote] Exactly. A student in upper elementary grades has likely heard "do your best" and "try your hardest" and you'll get good grades. This "we'll give you a number" system does very little to motivate the student.[/quote]
