[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was in 3rd grade last year and I never saw a grade all year. I guess she was doing online tests but I couldn't see the results. And nothing got posted in Schoology. So I just had to rely on the iReady results to make sure she was staying on grade level. Her report card was all 3s and 4s with canned comments at the end.

I understand that teachers are busy, but it's pretty unsettling as a parent if you don't really have any insight into how your child is doing and what, if anything, they might need help on.[/quote]

I'm a parent.  Isn't that what parent teacher conferences are for?  I schedule one each quarter to discuss insights and look at scores that might need looking at.  Worksheets come home in weekly folders.

What more do you want?  I'm honestly confused, this is all 10x more than my parents got as a kid, when we got 1 report card at the semester and 1 at the end of the year and that was it.[/quote]

I'm the PP. I had one teacher conference at the beginning of the year and that was it. I've learned from this board that teachers really don't want to do quarterly conferences so I refrain from setting them up. Also, we only got a handful of worksheets sent home all year and they weren't graded. We didn't have a weekly folder.

Please don't assume everyone's experience is your experience? I'm really glad other parents get more insight but the point I was trying to make was that we aren't all so lucky. In the absence of information, some of us will assume the worst.[/quote]
