I am sure our kids get report cards 4 x a year. We also have parent teacher interviews between them. I am going from memory, but it seems like we meet or correspond with the teach every 6 weeks or so.
Is there a mandated number of report cards per year?
I will say that I don't have the same frustrations as Slava. I feel like we have a good knowledge of what is going on with our kids, I don't always agree with the work they do ie: cerial box book report in grade 6....
