[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the Pp who thinks "assessments" with grades like p- which most kids seem to receive regardless of the performance- are helpful. I disagree.  Maybe you weren't in the system when unit test with numerical grades were the norm, but I can tell you, they were far more informative.  I don't think there's a legit reason to get rid of unit tests and I believe it hurts kids (and keeps parents in the dark).[/quote]

At our school most kids do not receive a P regardless of performance. Any more than one or two questions wrong on a math assessment, and it is an I, not a P. If DD brings home a math assessment, and I see what she got right and wrong, I can still see how well she is doing, whether the the grade is 90%, A or P. And yes, she did have unit tests in first grade because her teacher still gave them, even though she wasn't supposed to. Yet, I know more about DD's perform, strengths and weaknesses this year in third grade than I did in first with the unit tests. Why? Because her teacher is better, and is more open to back and forth communication.[/quote]
