[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ES (K-4) doesn't have letter grades, they use 1-4 instead. My oldest mostly got 3s with a few 4 in art and music. But he made it to the gifted and talented program in intermediate school (grade 5-6) and did accelerated math/ELA and made all As except in art (Bs). In our ES schools with the 1-4 system, the teachers seem stingy in giving out 4. [/quote] To get a 4, you have to "exceed the standard" or know more than what was taught. I gave examples above. But its basically answering bonus questions related to what was taught but not exactly taught and reviewed. Like spelling words that follow the pattern but are not the assigned words. Bonus math questions. Short answer questions in science and history at the end of the test. Being able to apply what you taught to other things. Seems shocking a gifted kid was not getting 4s.[/quote]
