"if carlsberg made GCSe papers, your dc would probably be the cleverest child in the world"

Ooh something passive aggressive is in order.

'it has been an extraordinary experience teaching you x'

'i hope you able to achieve as much in life as you have at school' (ie nowt for the little shites).

Ooh god yes, they're awful. Thankfully this year I only have bottom set, all boys and we have a mutual understanding (they don't swear at me if I don't make them work too hard)so won't have to do this.

So hard to avoid cheese. Though this is what they want I suppose

"Education is what remains after you've forgotten everything you learned in school"

My English teacher at school printed out copies of 'The Road Less Travelled' in teeny writing on coloured paper and stuck them in our leavers books. She added a few personal messages in a few people's books as well but mainly it was just the poem and 'best of luck from Mrs X'

you could always print this out and stick in the books

My senior mistress wrote

"The future lies before you like a path of untrod snow
Be careful how you step on it for every step will show"

And my A-Level Biology teacher wrote

"You can lead a sixth former on residential but you can't make it.....................
.........................................."
