Did you log in using your own credentials or his? Use your own. When you use yours, there's a delay before the grades show up, but if you use his, they pop up instantly. If he got a 4 yesterday, it probably just hasn't updated in the system yet.
In the US, I think it’s perfectly fine if a child gets a passing grade for just making a single crayon mark on a paper instead of completing the full assignment. Of course, that’s assuming the student isn't following an individualized education program.
I'm not sure how they handle religion classes, but in my district, you lose points in art class—not for forgetting your supplies since everything stays at school, but for intentionally being lazy and totally missing the point of an assignment.
You’ve actually got me pretty curious with this whole idea that failing grades are some kind of rare exception. Do any of your kids' classes ever actually see an F or a D? My daughter is starting second grade, and seeing ones, twos, or threes on her tests isn't exactly a shocker. Some kids get them all the time, some occasionally, and some never see one at all. I can't really compare this to when I was in school since we didn't use letter grades back then, but from what I can tell, the ratio of struggling students to average and high-achievers seems pretty much the same.
Man, I honestly can’t for the life of me remember a single classmate who ever failed a grade twice—not even one where the geography teacher had to ask them basic questions about the cardinal directions just to let them pass. It took him way too long to figure out which way was north or east. I was just a kid back then, but if there had been some kind of underlying issue, I think I would have noticed. He just wasn't really feeling school, though he was never loud or disrespectful about it.
I’m honestly not worried about what might happen to my kid on the playground. Not at all. But I still won't accept them sitting outside the door like a dog, and they certainly aren't going to sit there listening to religious studies through the cracks. The school needs to figure out a proper place for my child to be during that time.🙂
Thankfully, we have a great teacher and a sensible school, so they’re either out on the playground under supervision, in an empty classroom, or in the library.
I honestly don't know, chatting with a nutritionist is just part of my routine, much like how we used to discuss religious studies back in school—you know, catching up on sports, seeing who’s walking to class alone, or who's sitting with whom... Those kinds of things come up in our daily conversations all the time, so of course I'm curious.
I can't help but wonder who my kid is hanging out with during religious studies class. My decision to enroll them isn't based on their social circle, obviously, but I'm still curious. And honestly, I'm just glad they aren't going alone; having a few friends there makes it much better.
I don't really hold a grudge against them. I tend to focus my energy on calling out the abusers instead, mostly because they're often broken people who probably went through some heavy stuff themselves. The ones who just stay silent are the real problem. It’s the silence that truly bothers me.
It seems like you aren't bothered by much; you probably live under the impression that nothing actually impacts you or your life. Personally, it gets to me—what I find hardest is seeing how this kind of mindset is passed down to children. To me, the people who stay silent are always more disgusting than the actual abusers.
My main point is just that I’m frustrated with people who refuse to step up and take a stand. It bothers me when people won't shake things up or teach their kids to hold their heads high instead of just blending into the background. I really can't stand how some people lack any backbone, and then they turn around and pass that same passivity down to their children.
If I were in charge, I’d probably suggest getting a psychologist involved to help navigate this crisis. It seems pretty clear that after years of abuse, the kids have developed Stockholm syndrome. ☕
I’m honestly stuck on what needs to change in how we actually teach. I could just say we need more hands-on activities or better ways to encourage critical thinking, but those are just empty buzzwords. I want to see a curriculum designed by actual experts—and I don't just mean subject matter experts, but people collaborating with specialists who truly understand child brain development and how kids learn at different stages. I want to read a program and think, "Wow, this is it." Something where kids actually grasp the concepts instead of just memorizing definitions to pass a test.
As a parent, I’m curious about what the computer science curriculum actually covers. Is it just basic digital literacy—learning how to navigate a PC, installing software, and troubleshooting common hardware or software glitches—or will they actually get into programming?
