[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the problem is, how do they get feedback when everybody gets the same rating?  How do you judge "learning and doing your best" if everything is the same?[/quote]

The whole thing about "learning and doing your best" is that it's learning and doing YOUR best. It doesn't matter what everybody else is doing. "Learning and doing your best" is not graded on a class curve.

And, really, what does an A, once per quarter on a report card, tell you that a P, once per quarter on a report card, doesn't? Do you think that teachers no longer have to document their grades for the new report card? Does an A on your kids' report card tell you anything about the grades the other kids got? (Is it any of your business what the grades the other kids got?)

I think that a lot of the outrage -- not all of it, but a lot of it -- comes from parents who can no longer brag on their elementary school kids' grades, and/or believe that you have to get good grades in elementary school so that you get good grades in middle school so that you get good grades in high school so that you get into a good college so that you don't ruin your life.[/quote]
