Chapter 14

Chapter 14 talks about the pros and cons of progress reports and report cards. The biggest problem that is brought up in this chapter is the fact that report cards do not show in any way the progress that a student is making in the quarter or trimester. It only shows the final grades, which I believe is still important, but sometimes I believe that the progress is the most important part. For example. If a student usually fails, doesn't do their homework, or just doesn't care and then turns things around so that they are doing everything they are supposed to but they are still only getting a D because of the beginning of the quarter their parents or guardians should see that they are changing things around. I hope to find a way to show an accurate grade and process when doing report cards.
