[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone gotten 4s in their reports? It seems more and more they’re focused on showing “growth”…[/quote]

My kid got straight 3s in core subjects but 4s in specials. I was mildly surprised only because when we had our parent-teacher conference, the teacher told us she was in the most advanced groups for both reading and math, and that her writing was the "best in class". I don't think she's a genius or anything, but I wasn't clear on how being in the most advanced group and being "best in class" translated into 3s across the board.

As others have pointed out, these grades don't matter for anything except an indication of how they are doing, and I'm comfortable that she is where she needs to be. But I wondered if any kids in class got 4s, or if she was just blowing smoke at the conference? Either is possible but if it's the latter, I find it annoying. I don't need a teacher trying to butter me up by telling me my kids "advanced". Just tell me what's actually going on.[/quote]
