At least in math, we can look at the specific questions and know whether he is getting it or not.  I think the reading/writing areas are far murkier.  My kid will write a paragraph and it will come home marked as a P.  That's it.  No comments on it.  No feedback at all from the teacher, just a P at the top.  I don't think that is right.  In order to develop as a writer, you must get feedback.  A P at the top of the page doesn't provide any meaningful feedback.  [/quote]

But I don't think that this is a problem with the grading system, or with Curriculum 2.0. Would an A/B/C at the top of the page, with no comments, be more meaningful than a P/I/N? The problem isn't the grading system -- it's the lack of comments. And Curriculum 2.0 surely does not forbid comments.[/quote]

Well, from the graded work I'm getting back in math, a P is perfect and an I means that something (no matter how minor) was wrong.  I.e. a label was omitted on a graph so now the that section is an I.  Perhaps it's just an issue w/ the teachers understanding of the new grading system, but A/B/C with percentages gives more granularity since they don't seem to be giving any ES or N scores.[/quote]
But what could be more granular than seeing the test and seeing exactly what the child got wrong? Isn't that information more important than the grade?[/quote]
