<p>The other thing that has been driving parents crazy is the number of WORDS on a report card. For each project my 5th grader does, there is a whole sheet of rubrics - each one is a long paragraph. She might get a 4 on one, a 3 on another, and a 3.5 on a third. But there’s not a combined score, so you’re left with a jumble of STUFF. Very confusing.</p>
