[quote=Anonymous]Personally I don't think that grading needs to be this lacking in transparency. With regard to criteria for writing grades, I did receive a matrix from my kid's classroom teacher which provided a grading rubric for narrative writing. To get an ES, stories needed to begin with highly detailed description settings, include many rich descriptions of actions and thoughts, include strong pieces of dialogue, use correct punctuation throughout, include a clear conclusion, be written very neatly and be free of spelling errors. For us, that "written very neatly" part is impossible because my kid is just handwriting challenged. I have noticed that if he struggles to be neater, he can have the same content as when his writing is messier, but he'll get a much better grade-as in going from I to ES or N to P. Frustrating, because he can't type in the classroom- although we've started to allow him to type his homework.[/quote]
