Can I share DDs report with you

[Hallucion]

Well an excerpt

“X has made adequate progress this year due to her lack of effort applying herself. She is capable of achieving so much more. I hope X uses her potential to make better progress next year”

She’s 6.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry 🤣

Oh wow. She must have pissed about in every lesson all year to get that!! I presume you knew she hadn’t been behaving in class?
If not I’d be making an appointment to get to the bottom of it!!

Herman - did you miss she was 6?

…but did she make friends and have fun?

Nope. First part of the report is how well behaved, popular and happy she is! Never once been told anything different. She’s very well behaved!

Ridiculous the system is just not designed for children is it.

Says more about the school than your child OP.

wow. That's er....
what else is said. It's one comment among many, I'm sure. What else was said? Is that comment only about one subject-- which one?

OMG they are 6! In other countries they wouldn’t be in formal schooling yet….

If it was my daughter I think I would just laugh, and I’m a teacher!

I write similar for the messers in my GCSE class 🤣....very severe for a 6 year old.

Oh wow! I’ve just written my reports and they’re all as positive as possible. That could be worded so much better!

I’d go and talk to the teacher, especially if this has come out of the blue.

Also: 6?! 🙄😳

Bless her.
After the year its been at school, she's happy.
That's what I take from it

That's harsh. Poor child.

In a year they've e been in and out like fiddlers elbows the teacher thinks that's an appropriate comment for a 6yo

If she's managed to get through it, be in school when she physically can be and has made friends and maintained social skills id ignore the rest.

This is the same teacher who hasn’t given her the class award all year. On Monday she asked everyone to put their hand up if they haven’t had it yet. DD was the only one. She got the award today .

I’m genuinely laughing it’s so ridiculous. She is the most polite caring little girl. She went to key worker school all through the pandemic, never complained, I’ve never once been spoken to about behaviour.

I’d honestly be looking at other schools. Or booking an appointment with the head to discuss the way that reports go out.

DS1 has all sorts of challenging behaviour. His report is gorgeous. Yours is outrageous.

My dd got told she was defiant on her reception report because she didn’t respond to requests from the teacher. She has moderate hearing loss. I home educate her now.

That’s pretty cutting for a 6 year old!

My twins reports from their specialist school today were lovely but I did laugh when the next step in one area was: “For DT1 to learn that some things are shared and some things belong to other people” (he was trying to steal DT2’s dinner while I was reading it). I often wonder how teachers find such diplomatic ways to put things - I guess this teacher ran out of diplomacy 😂

Better get on top of my 5yo now - don’t want her forgetting to apply herself next year!

Honestly how does a six year old ‘apply herself?’ Should she be polishing up her Oxbridge application, taking reading home with her? At that age, the application is supposed to be done by the teacher.

Poor DD, I hope you haven’t shared it with her?! I made mistake of reading my DDs age 5 to her and it was mostly lovely with the odd comment, one was that she should work on making her drawings neater. Poor kids all focused on drawing in the lines now and seems deflated when drawing - kicking myself.

Oh, up hers, stupid woman.

Former primary teacher here. Some adults working with children should totally not be working with children. It's scary tbh.

Wow that is rubbish from that teacher. Junior school reports are usually all positive waffle arent they?! I'd not be impressed and want to speak to someone.

Absolutely did not share it with her. Said “oh it’s lovely darling well done you” and filed it for future laughs

Oh crikey. That sounds like it could have been written by one of my colleagues. She has no tact at all and doesn't seem to like children very much!

That is appalling! Reports should never be a surprise , they should certainly match all the way through and she is 6! Glad you can laugh because she is 6 and what matters is she enjoys school and learning but think I might have been furious! ( and I teach 6 year olds) I have never written anything so harsh and believe me I have taught some challenging children over the years.

Just looked at all the “effort” levels.

One excellent for reading
4 good
5 satisfactory
2 needs improvement

She’s a fluent reader who gets books from the top book band ffs. This isn’t a kid who’s going to be out stealing cars in a few years
