[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should I include the latest report card in my kid’s appeal so they can see third quarter grades?  [/quote]

[b]I believe that they will have that information.[/b] I don't think the grades matter all that much. Most of the kids under consideration are getting some 3's but mainly 4's. Maybe if your kid had 2's that became 4's but then I would address what happened there and explain how you helped your child improve their classwork.

[quote]They got rid of GBRS partially because the teachers complained writing comments took too long.

Also I think if a parent is offended that their kid is average...that's on the parent. I never read the comments on my kids' GBRS, but it's fine if my kids are merely average (or in some areas, below average). They're still my beloved kids.[/quote]

I get that the comments took a long time and that is why they got rid of them but I think that is a shame. It is the one time in ES that I felt that I was getting good feedback on my child's progress and what he was doing in the classroom.

As for the parents, we all love our kids and think that they are great. It is hard to read comments that are mainly saying your kid is average, especially when you have high test scores and your kid is doing well in school. You are looking at data that says your kid is smart, they are doing well in school, and then you have comments that say that your kid is average. The comment tells you that your kid does what they are asked to do and no more, even when given the chance. None of my friends who received those type of comments felt that they were wrong, they knew their kid, but it still upset them.  The few friends who talked to us about this had kids who could take Algebra 1 in MS and choose Math 7H instead because they know their kids. Their kids could totally rock the class but has no interest in doing harder work then they have to.

They won’t have any information for the appeal that you don’t send. They will have the original packet. If you want report cards, iready etc from 2nd and 3rd quarters, then you need to include it. [/quote]
