[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?!?

Isn't the point to figure out what the kids are actually learning 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]

Seriously?

Would you like your child to succeed later in life?

Of course teachers need something to use to grade your child's work?

The paper, did the rubric ask for a border clearly?  On the test can you see that your child did not answer the questions as asked?

If the answer to the above questions are both yes then your son needs to learn to  read directions and follow them. If not, then a conversation should happen between your son and his teachers about how he should have answered the questions given the directions were not clear. Or all three of you can have that conversation.
