After years of school reports, I have learned what "lively" "eager to contribute" and "full of life" mean!

But ds has 5 "reward" certificates this term, 3 of which use "determined"

Ideas? Bloody minded? Never gives up, even when clearly in the wrong?

I think determined is good. He is not a quitter. Smile I know what you mean about there possibly being another explanation though. Grin I would be doing the same!

Schools are trying to encourage perseverance so maybe they mean that for determined
