My kid’s school has a holistic grading approach to periodical report cards, eschewing numbers and letters for a vague distance from grade expectations. Kids are either short of grade expectations, meeting them or exceeding them.
I understand the intent not to get fixated on a rigid alphanumerical scale, but it’s still possible to compare between disciplines. On their most recent report card, my 4th grade kid has been above grade in all the graded disciplines except writing where they “only” meet expectations, and I’ve been having the knee-jerk thought that they somehow needed more writing practice, which they absolutely don’t need.
