[quote=Anonymous]I would welcome harder grading as it can make kids work harder and reach their potential. What is happening though is inconsistency not harder grading. The teachers are really struggling with this thing. The only I my son received was on an assignment that almost every kid got an I on (confirmed by the teacher and the parents). Well it turns out that the teacher didn't explain to the kids what she expected. Since it was different than what she expected on every other assignment the kids just did the same thing.

If you have a kid who is coming home with a range of Is, Ps and ESs grades you have a teacher who is struggling to communicate what she is looking for from the students. Its not her fault as this system is really fucked up.

On math, parents have to supplement at home. At this point, its irresponsible not to do it. Math is not a subject that you will catch back up in later on in high school or college. If they don't learn the foundational skills and build strong math understanding now, they will not get it later. You're shutting the door on many potential fields for your child. [/quote]
