[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line, ask the teacher and you’ll find out if your kid is disruptive, falling behind or teacher just likes to do lower scores at beginning of year and then have them all be 3 and 4 at end. Only the first 2 are reason for you to do something. If it’s teacher wanting to give better scores at end of year, then ignore and either don’t show scores to your kid or tell them they is that teacher is doing or as they get older they will be confused.[/quote]

The majority of teachers that start low and want to show growth are not starting with 2s.[/quote]

Blanket statements regarding grading are seldom helpful. If you child has low grades in ES, talk to the Teacher. You can send an email asking for a conference to discuss what is happening in the classroom. If you enter conferences with an attitude of “How can I support my kids learning” you are likely to learn a good amount about your kid.

Based on what we heard from the parents of other kids, Teachers were grading based on what they saw in the classroom. We had neighbors whose kid was in our kids class complaining about hours of homework sent home, DS had none. He completed his work in class, the neighbor kid didn’t. We have an idea about what was happening because parents of other kids were asking if what they were seeing was what others were seeing at neighborhood events and on a class FB page started by a parent. The overall picture helped some of the parents figure out that their kids were either struggling or that their kids were not paying attention in class and work with their kids on their issues.
