Turns out, it's not just my Russian grades that have dropped, but the whole class's. The new teacher only gives grades for work done in class. If there's even one mistake that can lower the score, it goes in the grade book. And if there are no mistakes at all, and everything is written perfectly – she gives no grade. She doesn't grade homework because she doesn't believe the kids do it themselves. Well-done homework only adds one point: if you get a 'D' for classwork, she'll give you a 'C'. I can't believe there hasn't been a test in Russian yet, but there was one in math, and quizzes too. That's why most kids have 'C's and 'B's. The kids asked why she doesn't give 'A's for classwork, and she just ignores them. I wish there was a test, that would be objective. The teacher couldn't avoid giving a grade for it. Shouldn't there be a final test at the end of the quarter?

Are you going to school just for the grades?

Last year, we had a similar teacher, also for Russian. But honestly, she often gave us independent assignments, and we barely scraped by with our grades at the end of the year. Her approach was extremely strict.

We've already had two or three tests. At the beginning of the year, there was an introductory one, then assignments from the previous grade, and countless dictations... Is there really nothing besides classwork? That's a strange teacher.

Our math teacher doesn't grade homework. Classwork is what counts towards the overall grade (meaning, all in-class assignments).
It's the same for Russian class.

I had a Russian and Literature teacher who said right away, on the first lesson, that only Pushkin knew how to get a 5, so we could relax, it wasn't in the cards for us 😁
My son's teacher now doesn't put grades in the journal for homework or classwork, only for quizzes, tests, dictations, etc.

Tanya Chamkaeva No, only 'lesson response' – all grades are for classwork. At the beginning of the quarter, she apparently gave a five by accident. Since the other classwork, which was excellent, remained ungraded. Each grade has a weight this year. That's why we're waiting for the test. In fifth grade, there was a different teacher, who also gave a lot of dictations, tests, summaries, and essays. This one assigned an essay once, but since it was homework, there's no grade.

Someone has to supervise the teacher's work, right?

Petrova Nadiya We were just getting used to each other then. In fifth grade, kids wrote a lot and got grades. She was understanding if a child wrote poorly and gave them a chance to fix it. But this year, there's a different teacher, and we're just figuring out how she grades. Actually, the kids already asked, and she said grades are only for classwork, but she didn't say anything about A's.

Svetlana I don't know. Did the school administration notice that all the kids' grades have dropped? We used to have top students, but it looks like there won't be any this year. History is also a bottleneck; he doesn't give out A's either. He assigns a paragraph to read at home and then asks about it in class. While the kids are answering, he's on his phone, giving out C's and B's if he doesn't notice any mistakes. He's also a young, new teacher. He doesn't explain anything to the kids; it's the same thing every time. Although in fifth grade, our class was the best in our year for history. The teacher gave interesting assignments related to the lesson, and the kids enjoyed doing them, which helped them remember the topic well. She told stories in an engaging way and recommended movies on the subject, some of which they watched in class. But the new teacher doesn't care; he spent all of September assigning the same second paragraph every single class. The kids practically memorized it, but still didn't get better than a B.

Regarding homework, at our school, especially in the upper grades, many teachers grade it using this system: didn't do it – zero, did it but with tons of mistakes or poorly – a failing grade, did it perfectly – nothing, just a participation grade or +1 point to classwork.

The teacher grades daily in the notebook, but doesn't put them in the journal.
