[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's elementary school. There are so many concepts being taught. I think the grading scale is sufficient for such a fluid curriculum. N- Not grasping it yet - need work I - In progress.. kid is putting the pieces together P - Proficient... kid gets it. ES - Kid is working beyond the subject matter - lets do something to keep the kid engaged. I don't think we really need A's to F's to grade 6-10 year olds. I think the current scale ensures that areas that need attention, get attention.[/quote] I agree. This is all I need to know for my first grader; is she learning what she is supposed to? Is she struggling with any areas? Is she showing extra talent/ability in any areas? My daughter's teacher has been teaching first grade for over 30 years and said at back-to-school night that she doesn't think first grade should be graded at all. Save that for later years.[/quote]
