Spinoff to NEW School REPORT CARDS
Do you think your school's grade accurately reflects its environment and level of success?
What do you think about the report card system in general?

Re: Spinoff to NEW School REPORT CARDS
yes and no. just speaking about my own school... our kids are at 80% on or above grade level and we got a C because our kids average proficiency change was negative .04. i dont think thats fair. our performance score was an A, but our "progress" brought us down. if a kid is a four, he needs to be a four and a half the following year?! gimme a break!
i also dont think its fair for the schools in less than amazing neighborhoods. teachers are teachers, not magicians. we cant undo in a few short months what their parents did (or didnt do) in ten years. its a bit ridiculous. when your kid doesnt come to school, comes late, with no work done, i dont see how we can "move them".
additionally, it is divisive. pitting schools and teachers against one another instead of banding us together more.
