Recently, the Surrey School District has gotten rid of letter grades in thirty-nine elementary schools in Surrey, replacing them with detailed feedback about what the student is excelling in and what the student needs improvement in. Instead of evaluating a child's progress with A's, B's, or C's, report cards will offer information about how they are doing on each task or project. This way, parents as well as children will get a much better understanding of what the student is doing well in and what he or she may need to improve on.
The Principal of George Vanier Elementary in Surrey thinks the new program has more understandings. He believes that the new system helps the children and the parents better understand their strengths, weaknesses and better discussion . Instead of having A, B or C the information will help the parents get a better understanding.
What the system we have now and the new system are similar because when I see a bad grade I will try my hardest next time to get a better grade and having the feedback will also be the same if i'm not doing good enough i will make the feedback even better then before. So these systems connect but in a different way of sharing it with parents and kids.
