DS is 12 (Yr 8) and had a lot of this year off sick with a back problem.
He always works hard and, like most kids, finds some subjects easier than others, so we had the usual mix of "well done","Good effort", "needs to learn how to revise more", "Tries hard" etc etc but his Maths Teacher wrote:
"Milliboy has made excellant progress this year, even though he spent much of it in considerable pain. His enthusiasm never waned; he is amazing." SAT level 8b, Exam 77%
Bought a tear to my eye
