My son is extremely clumsy, uncoordinated and disorganised. He is also sweet natured, well behaved, tries hard and most his teachers had positive comments. Even his PE teacher found something nice to say inspite of the fact that performs at key stage 1 standard in year 9. His PE teacher appreciates that he really struggles, but does his best. Sometimes chikdren cannot help being low ablity.
His school report is very brief and there are too columns one for aspects worthy of praise and one fir cause for concern. His food tech and geography teacher left the praise column blank and gave him awful marks for attitude to learning and attainment. They had no problem with writing negative comments.
I feel shocked that my child is really so awful that there is nothing praiseworthy about him. I am upset that I have not been told sooner.
What I don't understand is why these teachers have not used the school's consequence system to displine him or contacted me if my son is so vile.
A school report should not contain nasty surprises.
