Fourth-grader Heather brought home her report card for the third marking period on Friday. Her grades for the year to date are as follows:
| Subject | P1 | P2 | P3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading/Literature | B | A | A |
| Writing | A | A | A |
| Word Study | A | A | A |
| Mathematics | B | B | A |
| Science | B | B | A |
| Social Studies | B | A | B |
| Art | E | E | E |
| Music | E | E | E |
| Phys Ed | E | E | E |
| Work/Study Skills | E | E | E |
| Reading/Literature | E | E | E |
As frustrating as it was to see her miss straight A's just because of social studies, as a former mathematician I was pleased to see her finally get her first "A" in math (and science, too). I tease Heather and Wesley both by insisting that math is the only subject that really "counts." Their standard retort is that science is the only subject that really "matters."
