Report Cards

I hate report cards, as a parent they are not very insighful. The teacher puts my son down as having difficulty in communication both in nov and now, yet in the little write up at the bottom she writes you are improving so well keep up the good work. Then wouldn't you put him down as good??? Is it just me???

She phones me and says he has trouble sitting still. I'm like and.... he's a boy IN SCHOOL! Come on you've never had a child like this before? He has trouble sitting still at home. He'd rather be outside playing. He'd rather be doing something, anything else. Work with him, it's not that hard.

Because the twins are in the same class I'll ask her about one of the children and she moves on and talks about the other one. Well I didn't ask you about that child and really do you need to compare them??? Come on already.

As a kid you'd always worry about report cards, as a parent you worry more about report cards. Is my child going to be traumatized by this?, are they doing to struggle through school?, are they making friends? are they shy? it's very stressful.

I hate report cards, but am thankful it's not me getting them.
