Regarding independent schools that do not (or no longer) give grades to
students=E2=80=A6
I am a huge fan of [ http://www.saintannsny.org/ ]St Ann's (spent my firs=
t
six years of teaching there) in Brooklyn, NY. St Ann's has never given
grades; report cards consist of anecdotal comments. There is a heavy focu=
s
on the arts and in the early years of lower school there are no "grades"
(i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc). Rather, students spend as much time as
necessary in the lower school (switching each year to another class, with
classes named by teacher) until they are ready for middle school.=20
If anyone out in ISED land is from St Ann's, please chime in with more
info. Thanks!
Cheers,
Laurie
