[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I can certainly understand that you would like to have this information! But I can't imagine a report card that teachers could actually produce for all of the children in their class that would give it to you. You say you have talked to the teacher about your concerns -- if I were you, I think I would ask for another teacher conference.

OP here, with the old grading system, the grades plus comments plus end of unit assessment gave me enough information to tell if my child was struggling or where he was doing okay but could maybe use some additional attention at home and the areas of strengths.  The on/off nature of proficient or not proficient (by end of year) without comments loses the nuances.  Anyway, short of asking the teacher "show me the rubric" a la Jerry Maguire, I have to trust if he says despite the interim work and report card I's my son is on track that I will see a P 4th quarter.  It may well be that DS is not yet showing P work but isn't so off the mark that he meets the threshold for additional school resources.  Time will tell.[/quote]
