[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The only way some elementary parents know how well their child is doing in school is by the report card? Don't they review their returned child's assignments to see how they are doing?[/quote]

My child's work comes home but there is never anything more than a sticker, a check, or a P. There is rarely anything marked wrong other than circling a misspelled word. She received an ES once or twice but there was nothing explaining what was good about what she did. Frankly, it didn't look that different from things she had done with a P. The rubrics are never sent home so its not like you could even look at that and see if your child did what they were supposed to do, I guess this is what the check is meant to do.

I have not seen improvements in my daughter's writing. [/quote]

If you want to know how well your child is doing in school, my suggestion is to look at your child's work. Not how the teacher marked the work. What your child actually did.[/quote]
Exactly. I don't need to see the teacher's "grade" on my dd's spelling tests to see that she needs extra help with spelling.  I don't need to see the teacher's "grade" on some of her math assignments to see which ones she got wrong and needs extra practice with.

And to the 2 posters before you who claim 2.0 causing less stress at home - hey, I completely agree with you that evenings without homework are so much more pleasant and less stres free, but guess what?  I still make my DD do her homework because extra reinforcement is good for all the kids!  I want her to learn something and not just get a better grade![/quote]
