[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience the comments appear to be chosen from a list. They are specific to my child in the sense of child knows XYZ instead of child needs to work on XYZ. But they are clearly taken from some database of comments. That said, my kid's ES teachers have been fabulous on the whole, and I'd rather they spend their efforts in class than on report cards. [/quote]

APS does not use a database. [b]Teachers and admin do sometimes share comment stems and suggested phrases.[/b][/quote]

That makes it all ok. Thanks. :roll: 
Seriously, what's the difference? Either way, not custom to the student and therefore wasted time.[/quote]

NP but I would rather my kids’ teachers have some efficiency (“Larla sometimes needs to be reminded to keep hands to herself/not have side conversations/tidy up her space” ends up on many K report cards I bet), and I don’t think it detracts from the personalization or relevance. I frankly hope my kids’ teachers have created keyboard shortcuts to hit like control:R for “reads on grade level” or cntl:A for “reads above grade level”

Our teachers write a decent amount; I don’t hate SBG but it feels more like it’s focused on ensuring kids aren’t falling behind vs encouraging them to extend and learn more.  I remember working hard to make sure I had an A growing up, but it seems much easier to get a “meets expectations”[/quote]
