To think that the school report for a high achiever should not be so overwhelmingly negative?

[SixImpossible]

I've just read dd's Y6 report. I am underwhelmed.

Given that she has scored all 5s and 6s, you might expect that there would be something about her academic abilities. There are two sentences about her academic development. The rest is focused on hiw she needs to improve her behaviour. This is a child who has never had a detention, who has never had me called in to discuss sanctions, who has a reputation as an incredibly attentive, good girl in class, whose behaviour has been praised in virtually every report in the past 7 years.

If her behavioural problems have been bad enough to warrant focusing on them in the end of year report, surely I could expect to have been called in to disciss them at some point?

No acknowledgement has been made of the fact the she has struggled with being bullied for several years. I have always been the one to go into the school and request meetings with staff to try to address this. Yes, I know that she has had a few meltdowns, but each one has been in response to bully situations, and she has never been penalised for them because the school recognised this.

So why the focus on how she needs to improve her behaviour?

Ds2 finished year 6 last year, had a dreadful time at primary with bullying which was seen as his fault (too sensitive apparently - although he was being called cunt daily :hmm: ).
Moved to a large all boys grammar - dire warnings from school of him being too sensitive to cope.

He's loved it from day 1. Had a fantastic year 7. Sometimes schools just don't 'get' a child. Hope she enjoys year 7 :) I think I'd just reassure her you're not bothered & ignore the report - unless you think it's talking about something you're not aware of.
