Why do you think kids don't care about grades/scores anymore? I realize that life is more than a grade or score, but when it comes to school and academics, that's the reality.

In many cases, no consequences for bad grades.

True. I don't think the students even know what grades mean anymore. At least at my school!

I think they care but in pa they are tested half to death so they are probably feeling defeated. When the kids get a good grade they still seem to be proud especially if I make a big deal. When I get 100 percents on a test I announce it to the class by calling their name and saying great job and. Thanks for working so hard.

For our kiddos, grades don't really mean anything to the district until high school. We used to have to earn credits in middle school so learning good habits in elementary was important. Now, families don't care because "it doesn't matter."

I need some ideas for my last hour class. I teach reading only and I have this class first hour for reading and then last hour again for “communication skills”. I plan on some days doing prodigy, maybe passion projects, and maybe reading groups. This class has a lot of sped kids. By the time last hour comes, they are all over the place. I need things to keep them from going crazy, but want it to be purposeful also. Any suggestion?
