Earlier in the year, my DD had one "I" grade in reading comprehension.  She is way above grade level in reading comprehension (as indicated by standardized testing but also my own knowledge of my daughter).  Teacher's explanation of the "I" is that my DD gets distracted in class and did not complete the classroom work on more than one occasion.  Can someone explain to me what distraction/completion of work has to do with reading comprehension?

Distraction/non-completion of work doesn't have much to do with reading comprehension. It has a lot to do with assessment of reading comprehension, though.[/quote]

Agreed. Grades are not given for ability, they are given for demonstrated performance in school. Sure, she can comprehend what she reads, but if she doesn't complete the work that demonstrates that comprehension, she won't get a P.
and in your example about her getting an I in geometry, but P for the year, would you understand better if she had gotten As for three marking periods, a B for teh fourth marking period, but got an A average for the year? I really don't see what is so hard to understand about that.[/quote]
