Report Cards aren't, and should NOT be the only form of "communication" between student/parent/teacher. I email back and forth daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly depending on the student, so the communication is constant.
Report Cards are a summative report, but if as a parent you haven't spoken to your child's teacher before the first report card in January, there is a problem.
Schools try to have PT Conferences between them, so for example, my school has Meet the Teacher / Welcome Back BBQ in Sept. We then have conferences late November / December. Reports go out end of Jan. We are meeting again in March for conferences, and then June report. Between those times there should be a dialogue happening. If not, someone is not doing their job (parent or teacher)
