They advocate private parent teacher conferences after each nine week period for better insight into progress and behavior. The letter notes potential peer cruelty, lack of room for parent or teacher comments, and questions whether grades truly reflect character. The piece ends with a personal quip about sibling rivalry and a caution about judgment.
