[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.

I don't understand the point of grading like this in sixth grade. It's not like these grades "count" for anything.

Why be so harsh?!?

[b]Isn't the point to figure out what the kids are actually learning[/b] rather than to look for ways to knock them down?

I get the feeling all these people care of about is whether you can jump through dumb hoops (like putting a stupid border on your poem).[/quote]

Yes.  And the results indicate that your kid is not "actually learning" how to read instructions or follow directions.  In sixth grade, this is something that needs to be addressed.  This is an important skill, OP, probably more important than translating Spanish greetings into English.  And your kid is failing in this aspet.  Help him fix it now before he's taking harder classes.[/quote]

Your kid doesn't know how to follow directions, and does not have a strategy for doing so.  Focus on doing that, instead of being upset at the teacher.  [/quote]
