We had first secondary parents evening last night.
Lots of positives ie she energizes people, brings people together, lots of teacher enjoy teaching her as she is enthusiastic and interested and contributes well to class and one of her teachers said her ideas are very mature for a 12 year old.
However she has always seems to live life at a different speed to everyone else and just rushes everything. I often have to tell her to slow down when she speaks because I can't understand what she is saying.
She makes mistakes because she takes the homework down wrongly usually because she is chatting ie in geography she had to write several facts aoout one volcano instead she wrote general facts about volcanos.
She misreads questions because she is too much in a hurry to get it done.
Her handwriting (lefthanded) and presentation are still not good but are a huge improvement over the last year or so and teachers seemed quite understanding once we explained this.
She is at that age where she is fairly resistant to advice but we need to get over to her the only person stopping her succeeding is herself. She is definetely underperforming in her science assessments and there was a mild threat that she would be moved down if she did not improve.
