[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the new report cards explain more about how our kids are doing than the old ones did. How is it more meaningful to get a "B" in math than to get a "P"? At least now they break it down into subject and skill areas and tell you whether your child can actually do these things. [/quote] A B is more meaningful because it correlates with an actual numerical score, usually in the 80s, depending whether plus/minus grades are given. So, there was a difference between getting an 88 (B or B+) or a 98 (A or A+ in terms of knowing how well your child was doing. But now, some teachers seem to give P for both 88 and 98, while others give 88 and I, and 98 a P. In some schools, there is no difference between what would formerly have been B work and A work, while at other schools P is the old B, and ES is given out to many high achieving students, and yet other schools,like ours I is more like the old B, and P is A.[/quote]
