Moving in exactly the wrong direction. Eliminate all that fluff and those subjective evaluations and grade on a no-curve basis for English, Math, and Science. Make all the other junk pass/fail.

I’m dating myself but when I was in elementary school, we got graded on the subject. On the back of the report card was a handwritten paragraph from the teacher. It was then that any educational or behavioral issues were noted (except in the case they called home if you didn’t something “really” bad). For example. “Johnny is doing well in math but we have discussed that classroom participation could improve his grade” or “Suzy and I have discussed that talking during class instruction is hindering the education of her and those around her”. I never once remember a thing about gratitude or sensitivity toward others.
