Ds's (yr7) parents evening - as we went round we were repeatedly hearing such phrases as: 'delight to teach', 'courteous and cheerful', 'good sense of humour' and quite a few expressed hope he'd continue to A level in their subject. Amazingly we didn't get a single negative comment.
After checking I did indeed have the right label on and they weren't talking about someone elses child, I came home basking in reflected glory.
Thought I'd share as no-one in real life would be interested. It did cross my mind that perhaps as it's a private school the teachers were under orders to only say nice things? Please tell me this isn't true and that, unlikely as it seems, ds is in fact an angel at school.
