How in the world am I suppose to know how my child is doing in school when NOTHING ever comes home? DC has math homework every night, but that is a separate teacher. Otherwise I have yet to see a test, quiz, or graded paper! This is the third year in a row that NOTHING is sent home! How are we suppose to work on study skills or even encourage studying at all when we have NO IDEA how the child is doing? Even the report cards are worthless with M,P,I system. I've met with the teacher and she essentially stated an M is equal to an A and a P represents anywhere from an A- to a C, and an I represents a D or F... So we have a report card with only P's (progressing) Um, okay so how is my child ACTUALLY doing? Every time I meet with the teacher she says she will send graded work home, but doesn't want to send it in the backpack because she is afraid DC will feel bad or a classmate will tease! So you don't send it home and we have no idea that DC has actually gotten every question wrong on three social study quizzes over 3 months! That is ALL I have actually received this entire year, three bombed social studies quizzes hand delivered during a conference! As we are struggling to find a study method that works...
I am so DONE with this school. Communication is horrible. They keep saying how "great DC is doing"! If these are grades indicative of work, DC is NOT doing well at all!
Okay, rant over! Now to try to calm done and enjoy my kids...
