It's kindergarten. How much detail do you need?[/quote]

I dislike the system but can tolerate it for kindergarten. Unfortunately, it is used for all elementary grades. At some point I think it would be useful to know how strong my child's mastery of various subjects is. If he is barely meeting standards for quarter 1 in math, for example then his foundation won't be very strong for the next quarter. Whereas, if he is well above the threshold, he likely understands quarter 1's topics quite well and has a strong foundation to move on. In the first case I would want to reinforce concepts at home, but in the second case that is likely unnecessary. I feel like the I/P/E system does a disservice to kids who are proficient but borderline.[/quote]
