[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]With the exception of math, grades are very subjective in ES. So much at this level has to do with behavior. [/b]

In ES we had numerical grades, and I rarely got anything below a 97. In MS, suddenly I felt so…average. I felt like the things I was rewarded for in ES—being a docile, well behaved student—suddenly were not valued as much.

I was still diligent, and certainly didn’t feel as though I were any less intelligent than my peers, but I felt like they certainly spoke out much more, especially the boys. I do think MS/HS is when those once overly rambunctious little boys end up harnessing their energy in a more productive way. [/quote]

My kid had solid Bs in math in ES despite As on tests. The teacher felt they weren't trying. It was no big deal because the grades don't matter [/quote]

Then why grade?[/quote]

I am not the poster that made the post but I would guess that the child wasn’t completing work in class and so is not earning an A. Or getting the right answer on a test but not showing their work. Something along those lines. There are good reasons for Bs when a kid is Acing tests. My brothers never turned in homework and were pains in their classes and got Bs even though they had perfect scores on tests. [/quote]
