Report cards came home today. I am a proud parent because both girls had compliments from their teachers. But reports cards here in Georgia are very different than the Oklahoma ones. Darby's report card used to provide lots of detail, including the number grade average with the letter grade. There were a lot of different areas of evaluation - a legal size sheet worth of boxes to fill in. This year Darby's report card has remarkably little info. It has good grades, but is practically a blank sheet of paper.
Roxy's report card is very lengthy. The amount of detail in it is cumbersome. And, to help out the parent as she reads it, there is a four page guide that goes in to even more detail than the report card. It includes many Darby-size words, like "phonemes" and "locomotor". Who knew that having a Bachelor's degree in Science would not be enough to make heads or tails out of a first grader's report card.
