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]

Are you getting the work back with just a P or an I on the top, or are the incorrect parts/problems marked?

If you're getting marked work back, then what more information does a P/I vs. A/B/C provide? You're got the marked work; you know what the child did and didn't do right.[/quote]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.  She's gotten I's when I can't see anything explicitly wrong, or nothing is called out in a BCR.   And it just seems so subjective; miss one label due to carelessness and it's an I? What constitutes proficient? My kids understands exactly what she's doing and makes a careless mistake.  Is that an I?  P?  Who knows? With grades at least you had a general idea where the kids was falling in the spectrum.   Perhaps it's just the current teacher.[/quote]
What spectrum ? And I am seriously not trying to be a smartass, but if you see where your kid is making mistakes, sees what she is doing right or wrong -- what spectrum do you need to see where she falls?
You already have a fairly good idea of what she does and does not know.[/quote]

Sure, for concrete things, but what about a BCR?  It's not like those are right/wrong.  If she gets an I on a BCR w/ no other feedback what does that mean?  I do understand what you're saying; basically look at the tests; determine what she does and does not know and ignore the "grade" coming back.  It could be I'm more frustrated w/ the lack of concrete feedback than I am w/ the grading scale.[/quote] PP here and I hear you; I would be frustrated as well. Try asking the teacher for more feedback. Email the teacher, tell her you need more concrete information as to where your kid is doing well and where she needs help. See if that works. It so happens our teacher is good about providing notes and I am bit of nudge (from time to time) with the emails.
