I got the boys school reports today since it's the end of term. I am thrilled with the little dudes report (as usual) but there is a new format the schools are using. It's a state wide thing and I don't particularly like it because it lacks detailed comments. Oh well thank goodness the school will be doing parent/teacher interviews next term and I can go get a better idea on how he's going.
The big fellas report well that is another story. I was wondering how the school was going to report on his 'work' considering the amount of time he hasn't been there!! I have to admit that they have also made a mistake in the amount of days that the big fella has been absent from school!! They say 21 days but I know for a fact that they suspended him for 22 days this term!!! Can't they do Math?? They've assessed him in a way that I was told they would not. From what I remember from a previous meeting they said that he would have a lot of Not Assessed areas on his report but that didn't seem to be the case for ALL of his subjects. In fact there were a few that were just plain unsatisfactory. How can they assess him when he isn't even there???
One of the subjects relating to sport and how the big fella always takes his sports clothes, hat if needed and a drink bottle had me laughing and thinking that the teacher out and out lied especially when the big fella said that he doesn't even have a drink bottle. Also the big fella hasn't done sport at school at ALL this term so I think that will need to be pointed out to the school. Do they think we don't pay attention to his report comments or something?? It will be interesting to find out.
I do know one thing and I agree with most of the comments from teachers that the big fella has a big problem with concentration, working in a group, listening & working without being disruptive among a few other things. I do know that I WILL be taking the report with me to the BIG meeting next term and asking them what the heck is going on with it?!!?!!
