[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reports cards are so dumbed-down.  It is elementary school.  They only care how your kids do in standardized testing.  If they are reading above grade level, who cares what it says.  Everything is useless but the teacher comments - which to me are ridiculously short.  3 sentences?  Way to put some effort in there teachers. 1 seven minute conference 1st quarter, 3 sentences the 2nd quarter.  Whew, they must work hard. [/quote]

We received NO teacher comments for 2 quarter.  Any teach that didn't write a comment for each student should be fired.  It is ridiculously lazy knowing the report card are difficult to read. [/quote]

I was going to say...you got comments?  I haven't gotten a single comment since the new report cards started.  It would help so much--a simple "X is reading above grade level, but I don't see her mastering Y concept" or "X could use some extra practice with fractions."  Instead I have to email the teacher and schlep in for a conference when really, all I want is a basic overview of what I can do to help my kid do better in school.[/quote]
You have a teacher problem. We get comments on papers, in the Thursday folder, and got a personalized handout with comments at teacher/parent meetings. Yes he new system is challenging to understand, but not impossible.
Yes my kid has gotten an ES on a writing assignment with spelling mistakes. Teacher explained that particular assignment was being graded for narrative, not spelling. The integrative curriculum is a big departure from what we grew up with, but that does not make it bad.
Learn the difference between a system problem and just a  bad teacher .[/quote]
