[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  The goal is to understand what the teacher has taught, so the goal is a P.  Again, you really shouldn't try to compare it to an A grade. It's not comparable.[/quote]

This is correct.  If your student gets a P, that's like an A.  If you student gets an ES that's like the teacher recommends your student for AP classes.  Every kid in high school can get an A... only a few get selected for AP classes.  [/quote]

This.  DD started kinder at level J.  Never got an ES.  At level M now, with very ecperienced teacher.  
Got ES in some reading categories.  Explanation was that DD has "inferencing skills" and not only understands the story, but can also predict outcomes and comprehend details based on outside knowledge not expressly in text.

Agree that P is a fine grade.  Means mastery of what she should be able to do now.  Made sure DD knew ES was not the goal bc did not want her to feel let down (I wouldn't have talked grades at all, but the teacher told the class all the details).  Also explained an I isn't a huge deal as long as she's working hard toward the P goal.  Would use an I to help figure out what we could do some extra work on.

You can't make ES the goal, and P isn't the "bare minimum."  [/quote]
