[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed. Grades are not given for ability, they are given for demonstrated performance in school. Sure, she can comprehend what she reads, but if she doesn't complete the work that demonstrates that comprehension, she won't get a P.
and in your example about her getting an I in geometry, but P for the year, would you understand better if she had gotten As for three marking periods, a B for teh fourth marking period, but got an A average for the year? I really don't see what is so hard to understand about that.[/quote]

PP here.  Actually there is a different grade for work completion.  I swear to you I sat in an IEP decision meeting trying to understand how DC could not complete work, be distracted and talking, never get a demonstrating in work completion and still be "on grade level". Even in the more obvious area of writing where I know DC is not elaborating in answers and I did actually see consistent "I's", I was assured DC was on grade level. I felt like there must be two sets of books, one that's brought out when you request extra resources and another is the daily work.  So maybe DC knows how to do it,not sure how that is proved (maybe the MAP-R and MAP- P and a rubric on one piece of writing where DC was kept on point and had extra time to complete), but doesn't do it consistently so it's enough to get overall P's for most things and get the bad mark for work completion and still be on grade level.
