Though teachers are tasked to write pc stuff, one can tell she knows Andre well by the sheer number of words she put on the report card.<br /><br />And if anyone knows you or Andre, he'll know that the teacher did not just write pc things. And yeah, teachers only talk about grades if they know nothing else about the child to talk about.bACk in GERMANYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14398896655016654428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-43871773100257907802009-11-25T22:09:43.888+08:002009-11-25T22:09:43.888+08:00Sandy: I just saw the vids with my kids, they'...Sandy: I just saw the vids with my kids, they're hilarious!!

But he's not wrong, maybe someone like Michael Jackson could have kept a platypus as a pet in Neverland right? So email the teacher and demand for that extra mark hehe... <br /><br />Wonderful report on Andre, he's a good kid with a kind heart, little wonder he's so popular.

But all these years, I would have been SO much happier if I could have heard the following adjectives described of him/her, such as 'diligent and responsible', 'readily accepts feedback', 'warm,.. and caring', 'well-liked'.. He/she was just intractably the near-opposite of those attributes. <br /><br />To me, integrity and responsibility trumps exam scores ANY DAY. You're fortunate that both your kids have the kind of character I would want my kids to have; I suppose you and hubby have provided them with an optimum environment of nurturing!<br /><br />YY.YYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545799998978344549noreply@blogger.com
