There are a few big reasons why students’ report cards are a useful measure of how well they are learning. Their previous report card is one. The next one is another.
But without the context and trajectory provided by three, four or many years of grades in English Language Arts, math and other subjects, a solitary report card is worth little more than the paper it used to be printed on. Only with the full picture can a student’s parents or caregivers judge how well their child is learning and improving.
