Report Card Problem Topic
For PTA Council Meeting
Glenn Hale, superintendent of Eagle Point schools, said that
there seems to be no definite answer to the problem of report
cards at a meeting of . Jackson County Council of Parent-Teacher
associations in the Eagle Point Grange hall January 19. Mr. Hale
was moderator of a panel which discussed report cards. On the
panel were Chester" Squire, Ashland public schools, Mrs.7 Una B.
Inch; county rural school supervisor, and Mrs. John B. Huffman,
Eagle Point, a. parent, .: T''-:.- '-yC :r'.:C' :.':''' '
- Mr. Hale said that report cards
be placed in the proper grade
in .school, to . enable the ' pupil
and the - teacher to' " discover
weaknesses in the child, to make
his education more profitable to
him and to encourage the child
to become- interested in doing
better work. He stated that co
operation is necessary between
the parent and teacher to help,
the child progress in school. -
Mr. Squire, discussed the con
ference type of reporting which
he believes affords more chance
for exchange of information be
tween parent and teacher; also
provides .-opportunity to avoid
development of - problems. .He
said that the report card should
be a report to the parent on the
progress of the.student as to how
he stands with the rest of the
class, whether or not he comes
up to . minimum requirements,
how he gets along. with others
and whether or not he is work
ing up to capacity. '
- Mrs. Huffman discussed, re
port cards from the standpoint
of a parent and said she thought
a good deal depends on the rela
tionship between student, teach
er and parent as to what kind
of report card is best. She said
tha to some children it seemed
important to be graded in com
petition ..with others and " that
the parents can help in the social
adjustment of r their children
through having conferences with
their teachers. ., . .. 1 ; .
: . Mrs. - Inch, told 'of different
types of report cards that have
been used during' the past sev
eral years and said that many
committees have been studying
the report card situation. Re
port cards have varied from the
ones based on the 100, per cent
scale to the extremely progres
sive type which put the emphasis
on child development rather
man his rating on subjects. Mrs.
Inch said that there seems to
have been no card devised to
date that is a., true measure of
the child's progress. '
The Rev. Glenn Wade of
Eagle Point: Community church
gave the invocation at the open
ing of the meeting and , Mrs.
John Collins, music : chairman,
