[quote=Anonymous]Our GS starts this grading next year. The thing I really dislike about it is personal -- DD will be in 6th grade - so she will have gotten used to letter grades, have to switch to the new system, and then switch back again to letter grades one year later in Middle School. DS is in 3rd this year, so he'll have 1 year of letter grade, 2 of this system and then back to letter grades. I realize many kids will be caught in in this flux while they switch over, but that doesn't make me feel any better... I'm a bit nervous about this ratings system. I feel like this is very similar to the grading system in the lower grades (O, G, S, etc.). I feel like there is a little more pressure on kids to try harder with letter grades and prepare them for middle school and beyond. But I hope I'm wrong and my kids will try just as hard. [/quote]
