[quote=Anonymous]Definitely a problem with the teacher, but the bigger problem here is that teachers are all using different standards on when to give an ES. I will say that at many schools, and even on MCPS posters about the new grading system, it tells kids to strive for a P. What kind of message are you sending kids when you tell them it's good enough to just be proficient, and you shouldn't aim for the top?? The criteria for an ES differs from teacher to teacher within the same school, and varies widely between schools. And in my sons's class, there are rare opportunities to even get an ES…very frutrating for the kids! And the other thing that makes absolutely NO sense is that an ES stands for "Exceptional at the Grade-Level Standard" and a child can be doing a great job above grade level and still not get an ES.
