Both teachers and parents and especially the students themselves were of the opinion that the figures do not have anything bad. The parents themselves have received numbers and it through them, probably talk about it at home. They are essential pillars in our basic school system, the sum of the teaching council, Erja vitikka chairperson the board of education.

If a student or parent is not allowed during the school year any more guidance or feedback or not getting any kind of justification for grades, no evaluation culture also not exactly the kind to which national policy seeks to control.

vitikka chairperson recalled that the teacher must also give more steering feedback numbers also.

for Parents, who have always themselves been a number of reviews, the numbers will seem clearer. It is easy to understand that if the grade is six, might not go so strong and this is what he is good when it received a nine. But yes some people like it very much, too, that the assessment debate will get more use through the child's different characteristics and reasons for the rating of the background. The number is pretty one-sided. This can guardian a strong school, Salon experience.

strengths out verbally

– If he is even an excellent socially and see all the guys and having fun, so such things are wonderful to bring to the debate. If the certificate stands tall row of nothing but six yuan, can parents come to the feeling that the children did not have any. In the debate the teacher will be able to raise those positive things that children surely is, but who do not number in the assessment.

the verbal assessment, the challenge is the teacher's duty to bring the assessment up to the realities.

– should Not bring the parents to embellish to get used to, which of course can collapse it when there is a face-to-face with parents. Is the teacher's professional skills, that will also be able to tell the grievances of the child's difficulties, although not necessarily in all encounters that's not easy.

Salo is a 26-year teaching career during his noticed, that parents appreciate the fact that the teacher knows the child and can tell him realistically.

– If the teacher does not say a single word to tell the child bad things or the areas where he needs more practice, yes, a parent may stay with that feeling, that teacher feel a child at all. I have received a lot of good feedback from parents the fact that parents identify their children to the debate.
