Show THESE KIDS Of OURS! By P. M. ~UCKELSEN Director, Pupil Personnel Jordan School District scheme for the SCHOOL MARKS I am in receipt of two letters Ulis week concermng report cards. One mother writes, "My boy is in the junior high school, said his teacher had explained that he marked by the "curve". Just what did he mean'' I presume the teacher had reference to the sO-called ·'normal c$J.rve'', which rwas extensively used a few years ago in determin.. 1ng marks ror children, and whi..:11, with modifications. is still used by some teachers. If a large num~ ber of students were tested and graded on a five-point scale, it would be found that 57r· of them would be in the highest or A grade; 20% in the above average or B; 50% in average or C; 20'7c in the below a\·erage or D, and 5'il- in the failure or E bracket. Thus. if marks were given strictly according to the normal curve. in a class of 40, two would get A, 8 would distribution of marks places the membet·s of the class in direct competition with each other, a condition not too wholesome in education. Some educators object to using the norrnal curve because it fails to take into account the individual differences found among students and does not consider the effort required in obtaining a score in a test or class record. This objection is overcome by some teachers, who grade the boys and girls according to the percent of capacity they are attaining. Thus. if a student is believed to be working at 90 %- of capacity, he gets an A; 80 7c a B, etc. This seems to be a .fair method to use, yet has two shortcomings: (1) No one can determine exactly what the capacity o! an indiv·idual is, and 12) scholar:ship of a high order is not encouraged.

Mrs J S. you should realize that no one can explain the marks that are on your girl's report card save the teacher who puts the marks there. Why not visit your school and talk over these marks with the teachers? I am sure that if you do this, you will have a better understanding o! what those marks mean. Meanwhile, what is wrong with a C? This is an average mark, well above pussing. Do not make the mistake of so many parents and place to much emphasis upon your child's school marks. If your child has an average mark in her school work. let it go at that. Perhaps in some of the phases or development not shown on the report card, she rates an A. Physical and mental health are more important than A's in subject matter. Let her lead a normal home and social life and be content il she is just average in school, and the des ire for better marks, is, indeed, poor motivation in education. get B. 20 would be marked C, 8 D, and 2 E. Of course, it. is not likely that the marks would fall extctly into these categories. In a superior group. the scale would be shifted upward, and if it were a slow group, of course, the shift would be downward. In any case such a FOODS We are again making morning deliveries Daily.
