The Swarthmore Parents Council committee on conferences and reports issued year end findings on report cards. They reinstated cards alongside the conference method, noting no single solution fits all communities and urging local adaptation. They favor continuing conferences with reforms, while voices split on using marks. Some favor written summaries and progress notes, others prefer oral records and objective progress tracking for home school relations.
