As a parent with older kids in MCPS, there were far fewer parents running into this problem before the report card. It used to be less probable that you would end up with a teacher that didn't give feedback. Now, you're lucky if you get a teacher who does gives feedback. I've also noticed that the teachers not giving any feedback aren't necessarily the all around bad ones. They seem just utterly unprepared. The ones giving good feedback seem to be embracing 2.0 less too.

I don't think it's true that it used to be less of a problem. I think it used to be the same problem, except that people didn't recognize it, because the way the report card was, was the way it had always been. It took the change to the new report card for people to recognize that it was a problem. Going back to the old report card won't fix the problem.

And, in my experience, the teachers who gave more feedback pre-2.0 are the teachers who are still giving more feedback under 2.0.[/quote]

This exactly. I'm sorry, but the previous report cards had wayyy less info -- it's just that people were used to the grading system.
They knew that an "A"meant that their kid got 90-99% of the material. But, again I assert that I want to know more than that.[/quote]
