Thanks for that link, Emma.
My mum recently gave found my school report from 1973 (when I was 7) and we compared it to DS2s. The main thing that stood out was that my report seemed to show more of an understanding of the kind of child that I was, what interested me, what I found difficult etc.
DS2s was more a list of the 'targets' he'd achieved. Maybe I'm wearing rose-tinted specs but it seems to me that my teachers had the opportunity to spend a lot more time getting to know me. The current system seems to place target attainment above all else.
