[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and I do my best to send home work in a timely manner. Parents are part of the team and need to be kept informed of how their child is doing. We can work together to support the child. You need to speak to the principal about this. I make copies of student work for my files, but all originals go home.

I think the county did a disservice to the upper elementary students when they hanged the grading scale. P has a wide range of understanding.  It can be anywhere from an A or a C.  Parents and students are lulled into a false positive until they get to middle school and get letter grades. If a parent does not actually look at the quality of the work or know what true proficiency is, they think their child is mastering everything.

OP double digit by double digit multiplication was taught in 4th grade. It was reviewed in the first weeks of 5th. Your daughter is not alone in the struggle, but she is not at proficiency. She does need support with that concept or future indicators will be difficult for her. 6th grade math could be overwhelming. Good luck [/quote]
