Practice with ECHO App โFrequently Asked Questions
Q. Please tell me how to evaluate the report card.
A. Generally, elementary schools are graded in 3 grades (โโโณ, etc.), and junior high schools are graded in 5 grades. From 2020 onwards, students will be evaluated from three perspectives: ``knowledge/skills'', ``thoughts, judgments, and expressions'', and ``independent attitude towards learning''.
Q. How should I accept my grades?
A. Japanese evaluations are more absolute than relative. Rather than the evaluation itself, pay attention to ``are you improving?'' and ``are your weaknesses becoming apparent?'' Read the teacher's observations in the comments section.
Q. What are the points used for?
A. It is mainly used to judge the pass/fail of high school entrance exams (especially public ones). Your grades from the 3 years of junior high school (from 1st and 2nd year depending on the region) will be submitted to the school of your choice as an application form.
Q. Can I appeal my grades?
A. Obvious errors can be corrected, but it is difficult to protest against the evaluation itself. A "consultative" attitude that listens to the reasons for evaluation and ways to improve is effective.
Q. How will children who are not good at Japanese be evaluated?
A. Many schools will take this into consideration, but it will have an impact because the tests and essays are mainly Japanese. Utilizing Japanese language instruction classes and, if you are from an English-speaking country, strategies to increase your overall score on English evaluations are also effective.
