Wasn't a shot at you or your interest in your child's education.
For us, both kid's school have the same thing 4 rpt cards, and then between them parent/teacher interviews (often the child is present for the interveiw). I actually like the interview more than the report card.
The teacher presents examples of the child's work and how it stacks up to the measure. It allows a discussion and dialogue with all 3 parties (parents/teacher/student).
