[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why? At two different schools, the report cards that our kids received containing no letter or numerical grades have usually been somewhere between 8 and 10 pages long, with so much detail about their performance across dozens of specific skills or standards related to study habits/behavior, reading, writing, math, and other subjects.

We get a way fuller picture than what a simple letter grade would convey. It's a ton of work for the teachers to prepare thoughtful narratives, and we really appreciate that they do.[/quote]

It’s all just smoke up your ass to make you feel better writing that $45k check.

I trust the ERB report with IN norms more than some ten page report of platitudes any day.  [/quote]
WTF are you talking about? Our report cards have only one page of narrative, and I assure you very little of it is platitudinous. They clearly know our kids well. The other pages are reporting whether a student is at/above/working towards grade level in several dozen areas. We're smart enough to read between the lines and figure out what kind of "letter grade" that would be, if our school did assessments that way.

Also, one of our kids takes the MAP so we have plenty of data there in addition.[/quote]
