Bad Report Card? What To Do #3: See The Teacher
Bad Report Card? What To Do #3: See The Teacher
Often there are a lot of different components that go into calculating a grade. A simple letter grade on a report card may not provide a clear picture. Your child’s teacher can give you an explanation as to what components specifically may have lowered the grade. The teacher will help you identify what areas in that subject matter require additional support. Then you can decide if the extra support will come from you, the teacher, or a Y3K Tutor In Your Home tutor.
Report Cards
Report cards can be stressful for many students. If your child’s first term report card does not have the grades you would have hoped for, it does not pay to panic and add to the stress. Some children and their parents outrageously consider a bad report card a death sentence. This is simply not true. A report card can be used as a tool to help a parent have a clearer vision of what strengths and weaknesses their child has. Then once a weakness is on the radar, a parent can begin to address the problem.
There are many factors that go into the grades your child received on the most recent report card. Over the next several days we will take a closer look at first term report cards and what you can do to help your student improve future report cards.

PARCC Test Score Results
After students complete the new PARCC test trial run in the spring of 2014, the test results will not be released to students or parents. In fact the results will not count toward state or federal school district grades. Apparently the test results will only be used by state officials when they vote in the fall of 2015 on whether to adopt the new PARCC tests permanently.
Tune in tomorrow to find out how the tests will be given out.
PARCC Test Spring 2014
The country is getting ready for new nationwide tests to measure student performance. Coming soon will be a trial run of the new national standardized test called Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). About 2/3 of MA’s schools have been chosen to participate in the PARCC trial next spring. This includes the Y3K Tutor In Your Home communities of Natick and Weston. The full list of schools participating in the trial run have not been released yet as some are still being chosen and notified.
