[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI it is possible to give individualized comments. I have written individualized comments for all my students. However, most teachers are not given enough time to be as thoughtful in our comments as we would like.[/quote]

But only in the box at the very end and only for ES students. The K parent absolutely does not realize that the “detailed” personalized comments she’s getting are just selected from a checklist of options. She thinks it’s because she sucks up to the teacher. Sad really.[/quote]

I am only talking elementary, but I think you may be confusing the SEL grades (which we have pick strengths/focuses per student) and the comments which we can write at the end of the math and ELA grades. DCPS changed the report card a few years ago and we are bound to a 300 character minimum which is about 2-3 sentences. 
Personally, I'd be happy to write more thorough report cards 3x a year (which would align with our beg/mid and end of year windows). Also, rather than have 1/2 day PD and 1/2 day records , they could give us a full day for grades.  However, when we are given just 2 hours to do all of our grades, quality is often skimped upon depending on the individual and how many students they have, unfortunately.[/quote]
