Just Got My Sons Report...

[ummmm]

What is more important to you? Their grades or the comments from the teachers?

Every teacher wrote a glowing report about him which makes me very proud.

His grades are excellent too.

[royfromaus]

Their grades. Some teachers talk out of there ***.

Good grades are good, but a well behaved, happy pupil is much more important. Well done to your son.

[DTCwordfan]

so how are you going to reward him? Comments are more revealing.....

[sandyRoe]

That happy combination of good grades and glowing reports is the best of all possible worlds. If I had to choose one over the other I'd opt for the grades.

[ummmm]

Lol :-)

See I think the comments mean as much.

My other son didn't get such glowing reports :-(

[ummmm]

I will reward him with a present. He wants a new pair of jeans.

[Tilly2]

That's really good to hear, ummmm. He's obviously a pleasure to teach. Well done to him.

[ummmm]

That's what they all said, Tilly.

When I was a kid my sister was a straight A student. She didn't get good comments from the teachers. I was a bit 'nice but dim' but the teachers praised me. My mum made the fuss of me saying it was nicer to be nice than clever.

I kinda agree.

[rockyracoon]

Ah, that's great, expensive jeans? ;)

I've just got my daughters one funnily enough, her's never changes and it is probably the same as last years with just the date changed. She is due a reward though. Just waiting for her older brothers to come, it's due today but nowhere to be seen yet.

[sherrardk]

I like the nice comments but I also like the effort grades (if those are good then they should all be achieving their potential). Our primary reports are due this week and I can already tell you what they will each say.

[Tilly2]

Rocky, if that is truly the case with your daughter's report, you should be making noises about it.

[ummmm]

He has 97.6 attendance.

They allowed him to go away with his nan. 0 lates...

[DTCwordfan]

Landing my Os got me a trip to Lords to watch England vs the West Indies, the old man and I kept it up until I went to live overseas, an annual event to London for either the Lords or Oval tests. When I graduated with my Masters and got gainful employment, the bill for the couple of nights away then fell on me!

[Baldric]

If the Comments are good, that would suggest the Grades would be no problem.

[ummmm]

His grades are As and Bs (mainly As) apparently his best best subject is RS...in that he got A*2....

He hates religion :0)

[rockyracoon]

Tilly I'm exaggerating slightly, nothing changes with her though, every report and every parents evening since she was 5 have all been the same.

[rockyracoon]

Haha, that's the same as my son, he got an A* for RE and he hates it, can tell you chapter and verse about St Marks Gospel.

[Tilly2]

I see what you mean now, rocky. She's obviously consistent.
