[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't particularly care about spelling. Its not a critical skill IMO. Every word processor has spell check on it. The more you write over time, the familiar with the spelling you become. Spelling tests are a waste of time IMO anyway.

I actually have never seen either of my children ever get an answer wrong on any math assignment so I don't know how they handle P vs I.

Writing, reading comprehension, science - which is basically a demonstration of writing skills in elementary school is the real problem. Yes, Ps absolutely are given for C level work. P just means that you are proficient which is basically what a C level grade conveys. The new system simply doesn't provide grades beyond basic competence until middle school. [/quote]

I don't think "proficient" = C level work.   I think that would be an I -  "in progress.  A D/F would equate to "needs improvement".  A/B = P.  An ES is like A+ and "wow, you understand this material and can make inferences and connections beyond what you've been taught ".  [/quote]
