    I’m in favour of proficiency marks but only if they’re for specific skills. An “emerging” for math is as informative as a “B-“ in math. That’s a pointless change. But an “emerging” for “fractions” or “long division” actually says something descriptive. Parents can work on that specific thing with their kid, and the next year’s teacher can get a sense of what the students know and what they don’t know.
