I think that report card are important but only when your in 7th grade 8th grade 9th grade 10th grade 11th grade 12th grade because when you go for a job they don't look at you 5th grade report card. But they do look at what collage you went to and the way you get into collage are through you 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th report card. If I was grading students I would do it through colors because if you did bad it's not as obvious .
