[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

All report cards are very subjective. Letter grades are subjective too.

Also, if a teacher gives a student an I due to lack of effort, even though the student has mastered the material, that's a teacher problem, not a report-card format problem. The teacher is not supposed to do that.[/quote]

Then how do you tell a family the student lacks effort.  There are no comments on the report card.  [/quote]

You look at the learning skills on the report card -- specifically the work habits (rules and procedures, task completion) and effort/motivation/persistence. These are assessed as demonstrating/progressing/not yet evident.

How would you tell from a letter-grade report card that the student lacks effort?[/quote]
