Moms View Message Board: Parenting Discussion: 2nd Grade question
I was talking to some Moms last night about how our children's work is being graded. My DD's teacher gives number percentages (100%, 92%) on her school work. My DD loves this but another Mom mentioned that the number grades are stressing her daughter out. What are other 2nd grade classrooms doing?
My ds is in 2nd grade and his teacher is doing the same thing. He got a 91% on his spelling test last week and a 96% on a timed math test yesterday. I wasn't expecting that this year but my ds is taking it in stride.
I believe when my boys were in second, their teacher would write something like 22/24 to indicate they got 22 out of 24 questions correct.
My daughter is in 2nd grade. Im pretty sure they are not doing the number grading system yet. All the work she has done is stamped with some sort of pretty stamp LOL... They have not had any tests yet.
My son's in private school and kids don't get any grades until 6th grade, then it's number grades.
We do grades and percentages. Can't think of the exact scale at the moment but it's pretty tough. Anything under 70% is an F. I think it goes something like 93 and up is an A, 85 to 92 is a B, 78 to 84 is a c, 70 to 77 is a D, and less than that is an F. This starts in second grade.
We just started doing this and my dd is in 4th grade.
Our school doesn't give numeric grades until 3rd. It was the same at the private school they attended last year. The teacher would mark the paper just like Melanie posted....22/24 would be 22 right out of 24. So, will your dd get a numeric grade on her report card?
Numeric grading started in 3rd here too but only on certain subjects. Now in 4th everything is numeric. They are also changing classes, first year the district has had 4th grade doing this. Up until this year 5th changed for 2 classes, now of course they switch all classes too.. I will say so far so good.. I wasn't very pleased about it at first but the girls seem to be adjusting to it well..
My dd is in second grade and they are getting real grades and percentages.
My kids started getting letter grades, in 3rd grade. I can't remember when they started getting percentages on tests, though.
The percentages are on work she is doing in school and on "tests". I don't think they will be on her report card though. Our school (Grades K-2) has an established system for grading that basically just tells whether your child is strong, competent or still learning a skill.
My son is in 2nd grade, and he receives numerical grades. And the letter grades on the report cards are based on the average of the numerical grades they received during the grading period.
Wow! My kids started getting number and letter grades in first grade and changing classes in second. They also get put in honors or "on track" classes starting in the second grade (I personally think that's ridiculous, but that's a different issue). My kids have a 10 point scale: 90-100 A, 80-89 B, etc.
Our elementary school gives letter grades starting in first grade. That is also when they start rotating classes for different subjects.
