FIAE Chapter 14

I have always wondered why report cards just had simply a letter grade and did not have the format they did when we were younger, say in middle school where there was a specific area for comments from each teacher. That I think would be helpful to students because they would see along with their parents what they need to improve on. To parents, it's been awhile since they were in school. Trying to evaluate exactly how their child is doing in school based off of seeing a letter in school is difficult. Especially, because what was considered a C to them has completely changed it's meaning now in today's education system. I feel like comments would provide the parents an understanding of their child's mastery of the topic and what they need to  work on, especially if it's that the child knows the content but does not hand in the assignments than that is essential that the parent knows that it's not that the student needs additional help on the content but that their attention needs to be focused more on getting things in on time.
