[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for early quarters the highest they can get is a 2? So there are 2 grades then: A or F. No gradient at all in the performance until the end of year. Why did we drop letter grades. Everyone is familiar with that. [/quote]

This, seems like it is pass/fail all the way until the end…if ever child is assigned a 2 for Q1,  why even bother giving a grade ? Did any kids gets 1s? [/quote]

My kid's teacher sent a note to the parents saying that we may notice that students have received more 1s and 2s, reflecting their learning progress for standards that will not be fully taught until the end of the year.  So I guess the expectation is 1s and 2s?  Some benchmarks would be helpful so that we're not guessing.[/quote]

If my student had a 1 I would be setting up meetings with everyone from teachers to superintendent.[/quote]

What that is ridiculous. Why? First, 1 doesn't mean they are failing. It means the end of the year standard hasn't been fully taught yet. Two, would you do this if your kid got an F? Like if your kid actually failed a class you would set up a meeting with the superintendent? Why?

Anyway, I agree the standards are kind of weird. My kid is a competitive gymnast and got a 2 in performs directional movement in PE :)[/quote]
