I understand that Surrey Schools want to abandon letter grades because feedback would be much more effective. A,B's and C's are simply not enough to show the child's progress. About 34 schools in Surrey want to take on this new form of evaluation. They believe that this will have a better affect on the child's learning.
As for the parents, they will have a better understanding of the child's learning habits and can help them make goals for the future to improve. Sending samples to the parents of the child's work would show them how much the child has improved throughout the year.
It seems that parents would have a better understanding of their child's learning in which they can know what areas their child needs improvement on. By this the parents can then know the child's strengths and weaknesses.
As for the child, I believe that he or she will take things more seriously if they get letter grades. On the other hand it is also helpful for the child to get one on one feedback from his or her teacher. The child could then make sure to improve on that mistake.
  In my opinion I think that high school students are old enough to get grades because then they know the expectations and how to exceed.I also believe that letter grades would motivate the student. For example if the got a B this term they would strive to get an A next term. If they got an A this term they would feel a lot of accomplishment and that would motivate them to keep doing their best. Whereas if it was just feedback they would not know how high the bar is set. But I know this idea will work very well on elementary students. They often don't understand why they got a certain letter grade and often come to the teacher for answers. So if teachers gave feedback to their students then they can discuss it with their parents and make goals for the future for what they want to improve on.
Here are a couple of links that have helped me write about this topic.

Here is another link that let me see both sides of the discussion

This link showed me that parents could really connect with their children's learning with this new program.
