[quote=Anonymous]There are no letter grades in k-6 in our area. There weren’t grades in my school way back. It’s been that way for a long time. The problem with grades at younger ages is the child focuses on the grade and not as into what they are learning, especially when they have neurotic pushy parents. If they get a low grade they might lose interest in the subject and think they can’t do it. There’s also less stress for the child. Without the fear of grades hanging over their heads they can learn better. They work together better without competition. The late bloomers do much better in middle school. The report cards have comments with a long list of everything you can think of instead of letter grades. [/quote]
