Your favourite school report

Post Reply New Topic

As a part of the diagnostic process, I had to go through my old school reports. One of them in particular makes me laugh every time I read it. I reads as follows:

For much of the time Dappadee gives the impression of being uninterested, badly organised and badly behaved. The exam, however, shows that he has a sound general knowledge and genuine ability in this subject.

He is an enigma to me.

This was, ironically, for social sciences, in which I was graded in the top percentile for that exam. I can also say, hand on heart, that I have absolutely no interest in it either. People and society at large, are generally weird and boring to me.

Do any of you have a school report that - now you understand what was going on - makes you laugh?

Back in third grade when my special intrest was mantees, we were to write a report on our favorite animal. All the other kids complained but I was thrilled. The teacher threatned one kid with two reports if he didn't suck it up and write the assigned first report. I considered acting up so I would have to write two. I didn't know you were supposed to use "your own words" when writing a report so I copied it word for word from the classroom encylopedia. I have dysgraphia but I wrote this via hand as neatly as possible anyway. I even used the poster board from my science project and made a little presentation about manatees and brought my plush manatees to school so the kids could hold them while they listined to my report. Everyone, even my bully teacher was impressed. Unfortunatly I was sick the day I was orginaly supposed to give my report and had to stay home from school...it was the only day I actually wanted to go to school. This had to be my favorite report of all time.

A long time ago, I remember one that gave us something to laugh about; we thought my teacher had written that my work was 'erotic'... turned out it was just 'erratic' written in a highly illegible scrawl.

My school reports were mostly computerized so it was basically just phrases they clicked on and when comparing them to others it would seem the people with the same grades in classes got the same comments -- all of them vague such as "great participation" when I didn't even talk. What do you know.

I know for certain my early reports wouldn't have been on the computer but I don't think I still own them.

Not mine, but my wifes :

"Does not play with others, and when forced to do so cries"

How is that for understanding?

"Notwithstanding his complete detachment from class, Stuart is likely to do well in the examinations - not despite his teachers, but in order to spite them."

We hadn't as personalised reports as many of you, but there were answers too choose. I was wonderkid, best student etc, so my teacher chose all the best answers. Even these: good social skills, good leader, nice, calm, plays with other children - nobody liked me, nobody wanted to play with me, every day I offended someone and I had many meltdowns. But I was the youngest, I had only As (grades, not AS) and I was "school pride", so you know...

actually my fav report is about my asprgers

I was similar to Valoyossa, I was always the well-behaved kid that teachers liked, so they put down good responses about me other than work ethic. Funniest thing on a report card would have to be Kindergarten.

"Coldkick enjoys being on the computer so much that I have to limit his time so others can have some time learning about the technology."

My school reports were always some variation of "pleasure to have in class". Throughout my entire time in school, the teachers adored me. It was my fellow students that made my life miserable.

Oh boy... where do I start... Lets pick second grade - a bad year where there is much documentation.
