But a parent of a child you are trying to accommodate might be willing to "grade" the summary for the teacher.
This is one con for differentiation and why sending a child to a higher grade is easier on teachers.
Very good points! I will absolutely grade the work if that is what I need to do for this to be successful. She never truly grades his work. It is more for completion. At best, he gets a star and some small edits marks for capitalization or punctuation.
I usually have him proofread and correct before he hands it in, so it won't be that much different. If I need to write a more in-depth summary so she can check for comprehension, I'm down for that too.
