[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I honestly believe that these kids going through the "everyone shoots for P" phase will be very unprepared once they emerge into an actual grade based system. The super bright kids will be fine but the upper middle, middle and lower performing students will be in for a shock rather than being well prepared from their earlier education. [/quote] Then I hope it will reassure you to hear that when I was in elementary school, we did not get any grades at all. None. No letter grades, no O/S/I. No graded assignments, no class grades until 7th grade (the first year of junior high). And yet we all adjusted to grades in 7th grade, without a shock. I do not understand the argument that children need grades in elementary school so that they will be prepared for grades in middle school. It makes as much sense to me as arguing that children need grades in preschool so that they will be prepared for grades in elementary school.[/quote]
