Being placed on report

[ednamode]

Hi Everyone

My child has been placed on report. I have phoned to find out what "being placed on report" means but cannot get info from the school. I have tried again today in person but I have been told that the person responsible for placing her on report ,i.e. the acting head of year, is busy. Can anyone explain to me what "being placed on report" means, also what is the criteria for being placed on report.
Her grades are on target or above in all but 2 of her 14 subjects. she is in year 9.

Many many thanks

Can I suggest you talk to the acting head of year first. You really need to hear from the school why she is being placed on report.

If my child was placed on report i wouldn't automatically assume she was being singled out.
She sounds a bit of a pain tbh.

Speak to the school properly when you can because when you speak to your child you are only getting her side of the story.

She would refuse to go to Detention? Are you for real?
You should be supporting the school if they think her attitude is shit.
How about being annoyed with her iand not the school then maybe she wouldn't be in this situation at all.

Hello ednamode. I think you are over-reacting a bit. There is no point getting worked up until you know what is going on. As others have said, there are several reasons why she might be on report. My DD is almost permanently on report for poor organisation and not handing in homework. It is always done but it gets lost between her bag and the teacher. Don't ask me how ... But there you are. They are trying to help her. Now she has to email her tutor the homework which is done on the computer and it is helping. Think of a report being a method of monitoring on the part of the school, which is what you'd expect, isn't it? It is not always a punishment.

you cannot 'refuse' for your daughter to be on report

Sometime it is only the report that deters some children disrupting the learning of others. The report (should be) given to the teacher at the start of the lesson. If the child does start to disrupt others, then merely looking at he report or picking it up without interrupting the flow of the lesson can avoid learning being affected. Dismaying when parents are not supportive - how will that child cope in the world of work where the parents have no concept of appropriate behaviour to instil in them?
And yes, they often complain - 'she is picked on - others were .... etc etc' Tell that to the police when you are stopped for speeding 'All my mates do it and get away with it, unfair to pick on me, I refuse to be ticketed.'

I'm doing supply so see lots of different reports, generally it's like a copy of their time table and they have a number of tasks to do each lesson such as arrive on time, do the work asked, the sort of thing that they should be doing anyway.

The teacher ticks the boxes to say if they have or have not done what has been asked and then signs it.

At the end of the week it is taken back to who ever issued it to a) see general behaviour and b) see if there is a pattern eg behaves in all but one subject or is falling asleep in lessons before lunch.

As for a teacher hating a group, really I have not got time. I do hate the behaviour of some students, particularly the ones who stop others from learning.

I did a one day cover a few weeks ago and had severe problems with one boy who was removed from the class. As he was being removed he shouted, "Why do the supply teachers always pick on me?" er how am I supposed to know?

There should be a school policy on this and it is probably on the school website.

Don't worry, my son was put on report for doing graffiti on the walls of his school. Us parents need to take report booklets with a pinch of salt, schools are extremely sensitive to our little cherubs expressing themselves, which is healthy!!

According to my little angel, it was part of his Art coursework that he was completing on the school walls with the spray can (we 100% believe him). Unfortunately the headteacher did not see it this way and apprehended my poor little darling. myself and my S.O were both horrified as the school was suppressing little james' art skills and his passion on the subject by punishing him for expressing his love for Art.
