Basic report cards are presumably to annoy the parents, which would then force them to understand why the job action is going on in the first place. That makes some kind of sense.
I'm horrified by the removal of the class caps, and I too feel my daughter has been short-changed this year in a large class where she seems to sink into the background. (My hope was for an improvement next year!) And the only thing that saved the situation at all was the fact there were two adults in the kindergarten class, and that is also under threat.
