This is a good - concise article about report cards. I used to dread the day that report cards were distributed.
I suppose I didn't dread report cards as much in elementary school because my grades were always something worth showing off. In middle school, my report cards showed that my grades weren't always a top priority for me, but were still decent.
You have come to this education site at its beginning stage, since we are still working on it, but I hope that in the near future, it will become the number one site on the web for education. My high school years found me trying to postpone taking report cards home as long as possible. I used to tell my parents that my grades had slipped because I no longer got the monetary rewards that good grades got me in my younger years. I like the style of this education article; it is very readable and well structured. I don't think they accepted that excuse. Instead, my poorer grades resulted in being grounded and getting a tutor. I was less than thrilled. The tutoring stopped in tenth grade when my tutor asked me to his prom. This is a good, concise article covering education that's enjoyable to read. My father ended that concept really quickly. Nowadays, report cards have changed quite a bit and in some ways, have not changed in the least. My children's elementary school teachers still put lots of comments on the report cards - some pleasant and others more informative. As a parent, I am always happy to see those comments letting me know that my child is being polite and following directions well. I want to know that my child is helpful and respects others. I also want to know if they are not raising their hand or doing their assignments. The author is well informed about education and puts their knowledge across well. I have found that some of their teachers have not taken the time to be more descriptive on the report cards. Parents like to know what is going on. We like to know that we have raised our children effectively. Before going any further with your search for education online, read this article in depth - there's a lot of great information here. If we haven't done our job, we want to know in order to correct the situation. This article has raised issues about education that I have never considered before. Report cards are still handed out to the child who is expected to take them home to their parents. Some schools, depending on technology, make their report cards available only online. Maybe too many students were conveniently losing their report cards on the way home in the afternoons. Viewing report cards online have many advantages and disadvantages. I enjoy reading this education article - it helps me feel more fully informed. I personally would rather have a report card handed to me rather than have to log onto a computer and search for the grades. |
