Each document is getting a (somewhat arbitrary letter grade), and if they make any errors or mistakes (or for writing the teacher thinks it wasn't creative or thoughtful enough) they're being home a B or C. That is not even how "real" grades work at grade levels when it matters with pluses and minuses, but also it's really demotivating my kid. The grade at the end on the report card seems to be cumulative, but rhe teacher can just pick. Is this just my teacher? Are the other second grade kids bringing home what seems like unnecessarily harsh grades?

That’s not good—you should ask the teacher exactly what she’s looking for in writing and whatever other category that is confusing.

Ok, thanks. Now I see what you mean. I thought A means 4.0 to calculate GPA, lol. It mentions here that HS starts GPA calculation, does that mean any grades in ES and MS do not matter at all for college application as long as kids pass classes?
