To think posting children's reports on fb is a bit..

[Hamsterdancer]

... much. I know I'm probably being u but I just feel like they are quite a private thing and I know as a child I would have hated everyone seeing them. I know parents are proud and I probably post things others would think was odd but I just think it's strange. I dont mean people who say that they had great reports I mean actually putting photos of every page on there.

Or their RL support network is on Facebook and it's the quickest way to share. I am always aware of not necessarily being the intended audience for the post.

It’s so easy to tailor the audience for every post on FB that if you’re seeing something it’s because you were meant to. If people truly and honestly were using FB to share quickly with their support group it’d only be going to a handful of people not everyone.

God, I hate all that wanky 'boasty parent' shit! I've got loads of people on my FB feed who post every bloody little thing their kid gets at school & all their reports etc - it's just so...wanky!!

#rocketsurgery try having twins in different classes you see the copy and paste all the time, for me the laziness to not think oh 2ys has a child in mr A class if bad enough but to find out they haven't even after 3 or 4 years connected the dots and didn't realise you had 2 children in the same year. Don't sweat it you child is great I am sure.

I know it's possible to send posts to a particular audience only, but a lot of people are very poor/naïve with technology, judging by how many have open public profiles.

I’ve posted a copy of my own report from when I was about 7 as it’s hilarious - headteacher’s comment: “Fenella has intelligence far beyond her years and her sense of intellectual curiosity can sometimes be tiring to keep up with. She has a strong sense of leadership and of efficiency. Perhaps a candidate for the next female prime minister? Or possibly the head of a large Criminal Empire - we haven’t quite decided yet.”

I’m not a particularly intelligent adult and I’m certainly not the PM!

I did post DS’s first report too, but largely because I thought it was bonkers that a 1 year old got a report card! “MiniMaxwell loves music class and is good at sharing. He needs to work on his use of a spoon”

I could never share DS' report it would give away the status of saying the teacher has called him the next Einstein, Flemming and Newton mixed in one

Or they're just wanky show offs and wouldn't be posting the report for everyone to see if it wasn't glowing!

Cone on be realistic how many bad reports have people shared on facebook? Just don't get fan reach a specific audience?

People do this?!!!!

So tempting to post 'I couldn't give a shit'

Another reason why I am no longer on FB!

I've never seen a photo shared of a report, just the usual "So proud/happy/pleased with so and so's amazing report" comments.

Photos of a full report is ridiculous but the standard comment is fine, they're just sharing how proud they are of their children. There's nothing wrong with that.

I had to read all about a girl in my daughters class doing fantastically in reception and that she is exceeding in everything. She had quoted what the teacher had said.

I had a very different parents evening for my daughter but comparison is the thief of joy. The progress my daughter has made is huge just not comparatively with others.

Great for the mum but it left me feeling very disheartened. Ah well.

Pre-Facebook my mum used to brag about me a lot. I’m sure it’s why my aunt and cousins don’t like me!

When I was doing my degree, my mum phoned me and asked if I was doing an honours degree. I said I thought all degrees were honours (unless you had to retake), and she said, “Well Jean X says her son Jamie is doing an honours degree. So check you are too and if you’re not change it!”
I know Jean and can imagine her bragging that her sons degree is an “honours” one.

And yes I can speak from personal experience that being bragged about for academic achievement when you find school easy at primary level, leaves you without key skills like being persistent and asking for help, or coping with failure when you get older.

I hate bragging on FB. Just tell the people you live with you love them, are proud of them etc etc. Posting it on FB is cringe worthy. I've stopped following friends who do this.

Like PP the only school reports worth posting online are historic ones. My favourite was (in a subject in which I graduated for a PhD) "Cheese is not entirely without talent".

There are people on my Facebook that say "my little ASBO" when referring to their children also there is a woman pregnant with a little boy whom she refers to as "future ASBO".

YANBU - I pity the kids who’s parents post details of their lives on social media. I think there could be a lot of backlash in the future.

I have my parents on what’s app and post all my boasting about dd2 to them the only other people on the planet remotely interested pls mum was primary teacher

My uncles school report in one subject was one word “very”. No one ever found out very what!

Whilst the new restrictions in place from today on social media companies are targeting far more harmful content, I'm sure it would be welcomed by many if school reports were not allowed to be posted.

I’ve never seen an actual report. But I would think wtf and assume the parent is the type who puts so much pressure on their kids to be perfect at everything. I have someone on Facebook who I went to school with, every day we have posts about how 4 year old dd had swum the channel (and back). 6 year old Dd reading war and peace sat on the stairs wearing and her 4 year old DS sat wearing matching John Lewis pjs listening with a caption saying how Wonderful it is they love reading such amazing books and how much they love each other.

School certificates every week saying these are apparently the two most perfect children who have ever graced the world with their presence.

Not surprising. The dm and her dm were the same at school. Occasionally I post passive aggressive comments about how I couldn’t read until juniors but still managed to get the top a level results in the school (despite others being tutored heavily), natural talent always shines through😂.
