[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear what you are saying about being able to see what your child is, or is not doing well.  But, I find that the vast majority of work does not come home.  Yes, if there were a p on a spelling test where dc missed 5 words, I would know that his work isn't great and that we'd want to work in that.  What about all the unseen work?  What about seeing a lot of Ps on a report card and wondering what they mean?[/quote]
I hear you, you need to ask the teacher for more of the work to be sent home. We get all the past week work on Thursday's along with the weekly assessment. I also get to see the reading notebook. But, I still ask -- If the report card was all A's or B's and you didn't see the work would you not be in the same position? If you know that A means 90% of work is understood, it would still be 90% of unknown work if you are never seeing the work. Make sense??[/quote]

Not PP.  However, I found that your analogy was not quite on the track with PP.

1) While you keeps comparing P to A, many parents feel that P could be (A and B) or (A and B and C).  Consequently, there is no enough resolution for parents and students to see whether there is any problem/gap.  "Hey, this kid got proficiency and great!" is not the same as "Well, this kid got B/C and maybe, he can move to B/A if doing such and such."

2) You were saying that parents need to ask teacher things like this and that.  This is equivalent to say that the system is incomplete and there is a back door to do this and that at the anecdotal level.  Apparently, you are an experience person and know how to open up doors.  Please not get me wrong.  You should be very proud of this capability.   However, you may recognize that it is quite hard for any other parent to do the same.  How about socially and financially incapable parents?  What can they do?

In fact, after reading into your message, I am thinking that your points really imply the opposite of your main opinion.  [/quote]
