[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you aren’t understanding is that in elementary school the vast majority of the A’s B’s and C’s are NOT based on numerical computation like 90%. They are based on a teacher going “I think this kid is doing well, so I say they are at an A”. Until at least 4th grade there aren’t these big unit tests for every subject and the whole point of standards based is to show the student learning the skill over time and with practice. [/quote] My 3rd grader in APS had unit tests, spelling tests, graded writing assignments and presentations, weekly math tests, etc, and received number grades all year. For written work there was always a rubric showing what was needed to earn each grade. The grades were used to give her a letter grade on her report card each quarter.[/quote]
