Are comments in report books to be believed?
-
The school principal orders the teachers to write very good comments. So a talkative and disruptive student can become enthusiastic and contribute actively in class. Another student who sleeps in class becomes a deep thinker. In one school, the principal even adds on some more glowing comments in the students’ testimonials. These students do not deserve such compliments at all. The principal does not know these students at all.

well, but report books follow the child through life. that said, I do sympathise with the teacher becos they have to be PC (politically correct) or face grilling from displeased parents.
I would say the old adage should hold true - if one doesn’t have anything good to say, keep quiet. A bit pointless to turn the negative to positive. -

Times have changed, jedamum. I used to get 2 lines in my report card, now my child gets 5-6 lines in hers and they are all typed out in small fonts.
