[quote=Anonymous]They are easier to understand not just because parents are used to them but because there's more of a gradient and there was usually some sort of mathematical formula for the grades  based on achievement + effort and everyone knew that. If you didn't turn in your homework that counted X percent but if you aced the tests you might still be able to get an A or a B because it sounded Y percent.

These new report cards in K are supposed to be based on mastery but some teachers give Is even if a student has mastered the material due to lack of effort or whatever. So it is very confusing and very subjective.

And what I wish they would move back to. Letter grades seem easier to understand and easier for student/parents to interpret how the student is doing.

This doesn't apply yet in kindergarten, but in a system that uses letter grades it seems easier to give students a goal to work towards and parents more options for standards to hold their children to.

I wish letter grades would be brought back at least for 3rd grade and up, which is what our old school system did. I don't mind the fuzzy, looser standards and evaluations so much for K-2 but by 3rd grade I think there should be actual grades that actually mean something and everyone is clear on their meaning.[/quote]
