Reports!

[HermioneSnape]

I have received my DS7 's report. After going to a friends house for coffee, (there was a group of us).

There seems to be a marked difference in the marking of the reports.

My DS has a level 3C in maths, but his teacher checked the box for target achieved for all the objectives covered this year, and gave my DS a satisfactory mark overall, 3 of the other parents, also had the same mark for the DC a 3C, but they had working beyond target checked and excellent overall?

This is the same throughout my DS report, he has the same SAT result, but only target achieved and satisfactory, whilst most of the parents at the coffee morning had excellent throughout their report?

In English, my DS has a 2B mark, with all the targets achieved bar one, which is his handwriting and his teacher has given him a needs to improve overall, comparing the report of my friends their children had a few working towards targets, but still had a satisfactory overall?

It seems a bit unfair somehow?

We have parents evening tonight, and I'm wondering if I'm being fussy and making a deal out of nothing? I really want to say something at parents evening, but I'm not sure how to phrase it?

Sorry, thought your previous post was directed at me.

No, my children (I have four, all at the same school), came home and compared their reports. I am not the op.

Comparison is normal though.

My 4 are fiercely competitive & will snarl levels at each other occasionally, but have never been that interested in each other's reports.

Too self-centred, I imagine, to take interest in so much waffle about another.

The levels and reference to target achieved/ exceeded will be referring to progress not where they 'should' be at their age.
