To ask for your help in writing this cos I'm stressing myself out with it all!!

[flowerpot77]

This is going to sound so daft - DD got her school report Friday - was very good as we expected it to be (shes a bit of a swot) we are really genuienly pleased with it. On the back there is a section for parents comments... we have to write something back - what do you write? i have written and re- written it so many times. someone please help?

I usually write something along the lines of "DC has had an interesting/ exciting/challenging/ enjoyable year and we are very pleased with the progress s/he has made. Thank you!"

What do you want to say?

I wrote something like - I am very pleased and proud to read DS's report. Thank you very much for all your hard work this year. DS has enjoyed your class.

I like to keep it short!

"Thanks for a great year" will do. The teachers don't want an essay as they don't really have time to read it but something nice always goes down well :)

I really don't think you need to worry about writing anything very much. The school probably doesn't expect much - they probably feel obliged to include a section fro comments so that they can be seen to be "in a partnership with parents" or somesuch.
You could just say something like "WE are very pleased with X's report - thankyou for your comments".
Well done to your DD :)

Thanks guys, tough school to get into trying to keep "in" if you know what I mean as hoping DS gets a place.. im turning into a bit of a pathetic mare really.

That kind of stuff really doesn't make much difference in the end. Say something nice and they'll at least know you're not a "difficult" parent :)

I never write anything I just sign the "yes, we received it" thing and send it back. I expect this makes me a bad mother

Lol at POM, it doesnt make you a bad mother. Makes you a good one for not being sat here for 2 hours of my childrens precious life writing and rewriting one paragraph! (two LO's are camping at my feet!)

I'm with Pom.

Or a simple 'Very happy all round with X's progress. X thoroughly enjoys school and the excellent standard of teaching is reflected in X's pleasing report.'

This is the sort of thing that I get stuck on and then write 'thanks' and leave it at that.

Except I would change the last 'X's' for 'this',otherwise it's shit English......

Oh bugger,now I'm fretting at the wording

I just had this with DD's nursery report - I put something about how she has really enjoyed herself & it's been great to see her developing. I doubt they even read it tbh!

lol.... im gonna ps it with next year please remove this little box, my last two hairs on my head thanks you or tx u or t u or "peace out".

"Peace out" - oh that's inspired. NOW you're getting the hang of this :o

Lol.. defo peace out then! 2 days before it needs to go back... grrrr

We got reminded we needed to do this this morning when dropping the little darlings off.

Ooops. The teacher got some spare slips for us slack mothers the forgetful ones and we did them in class. Just signed them.
