[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All my child's report card reflects is that my child is that my child is proficient.  Nothing helpful.  At least if they are going to use these inane meaningless report cards, the teachers should provide [b]a personal evaluation of each child's strengths and weaknesses.[/b]  What a waste of paper and energy.

Teachers don't have time for that. And proficient is helpful information, at least to me. It means there is nothing specific I need to do at this time to help my child work towards meeting standards, because so far he has met them all. Therefore, that tells me we're free to focus our time at home on any portion of academics we find important at the time or on something else not school related.

If the report card reflects one or more areas that are not proficient, that tells me I need to get in touch with the teacher to get tips for how I can work with DS at home to get him to the point of meeting standards in that category.

It would be nice to know a bunch of in depth personalized information about all aspects of DS's academic profile, but all I really need to know is whether he's demonstrating that he has learned what he should at this time or whether some additional reinforcement is needed from home.[/quote]
