[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 5th grader has only had four assignments graded all quarter (except in Math, which is a different teacher). There have been over 40 assignments given. The kids joke that turning in assignments is like submitting to a black hole because they disappear and are never heard from again. It isn't good motivation for the kids or a chance to reflect on their work.[/quote]

Not all assignments are graded. Is it possible they have online assignments that are graded online?[/quote]

These were the online assignments. But as of tonight there are now almost 30 assignments with grades in the system verses the 4 earlier today. Granted there is still no feedback for the students and no chance to ask questions about what they did well or need help on. But at least there are grades now? There are no grades in canvas either - just in synergy. I just heard from a friend because their kid has 10 missing assignments, but the parent had no idea because they weren’t graded or listed as missing until now. Their kid’s excuse was that the assignments never seem to get graded, so he didn’t think it mattered.  I get that teachers are busy teaching, but I think kids deserve feedback as they do the work. Not a whole cascade of grades the last day. This is the first year we have experienced this.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. [b]Kids this age and their parents shouldn’t suddenly find out there are ten missing assignments without having a chance to submit them. [/b]This is BS and I hope your friend complains.

Um, the kid knows all about the missing assignments because she didn't hand them in! Stop treating students like infants. [/quote]

I usually see any missing assignments immediately on ParentVue and get on my kid to turn it in. It's their responsibility. Period.[/quote]

Right, but in our case there were no missing assignment in ParentVue because there were only four assignments listed until Friday when suddenly there were over 20. [/quote]

OK, that's really not good. The teacher needs to stay on top of things.[/quote]
