[quote=Anonymous]Ugh standards based grading. It only helps if your kid is struggling and even then, you should know well before report cards so you can intervene. If your kid is average or above average, it’s equivalent of the shrug emoji. You get a “meets” for everything. There is no “exceeds”. You don’t know which subjects are your kid’s strongest or weakest so that you can supplement at home or seek differentiation. Or in the case of my kid who is going into 3rd never having received any feedback besides checks and an occasional check plus, he doesn’t know to try to get all the questions right the first time or to do his best. He has been rewarded for doing an ok job and has no incentive to do better than “meets”. Not my hill to die on, but it’s dumb. [/quote]
