What did (or do) your school reports say about you?
 

Did you/do you get good reports? Bad? Or indifferent?

My most repeated comments were consistent from Primary school to senior, teachers always said pretty much the same, and were on these lines....

Katherine is very bright, and has the ability but she is too easily distracted, and is often off daydreaming in her own little world.

:laugh: it's still true even today, I am so easily distracted and ooooh look something shiny......

My teachers always had a love/hate relationship with me. They loved me because I actually engaged with them, while the rest of the class was dead, but they hated me for being so contrarian.

My reports were always the same: "he is very bright and engaged, but he has a lack of respect for authority".

My 5th year higher English report said "I cannot comment on this pupil as she attended my class once and has never been back" :laugh:

To say in my favour, she was a horrible bitch if a woman and slagged off my hair. I tried again in 6th year, had a fantastic teacher and passed! :)

That I was too quiet, shy but well behaved. That I should put my hand up more because I knew the answer

Aww Nat. That's really cute :)

awwww. are you more confident now?

My primary school reports were glowing...

Secondary was a bit different. Things like "if she put as much effort in to her work as she does chatting or thinking up excuses she would be top of the class".

My excuses for not doing homework were epic!

..that I was diligent and conscientious but that I should try to join in more/mix more...and I do have to work hard for stuff, I don't find anything easy...

A little bit

Easily influenced, very chatty, works well with others.

I was very quiet in class and got too many homework defaults. But I was naturally smart and got on well with others :shrug:

Apparently I was a little **** and my behaviour was "terminal" here's my school report from 1999 and a lovely little picture looking like an angel.

I've literally kept all my reports they are hilarious to read.

Along the lines of "You are ****ing amazing, **** me."

well at least you have good organization skills, to have kept these records for so long and able to present them so quickly. A+

I'm guessing from those records, that it's Daniels first ever A!

Exactly.

Daniel, you remind me of the actor Gary Lucy a little bit.

Oh my god everyone says that.

He's far more attractive but thanks for the compliment, I think lol.

Gary Lucy though http://www.designmyprofile.com/image...ns/blowjob.gif

Most subjects were just kind of mediocre and said stuff along the lines of, "Niall is a very bright individual but he just needs to apply himself more to reach his full potential.."

My English reports were always glowing though. :dazzler:

Gary Bewsey would be more impressive.

Oh my god everyone says that.

He's far more attractive but thanks for the compliment I think lol.

**** off your holiness.

^ That is rotten

Bright and well-behaved apart from being very, very talkative.

I remember every year though my ICT teacher slated me, she was absolutely horrible to most people especially me I found, she didn't like that I liked to enjoy myself. One of these "you can only work in complete silence, if you need to ask a classmate something you need to ask me first then I will permit you to speak" no babe! I only had to breathe and she'd send me out even though I always did the work and passed all her projects/exams. She saw me in town the other week and tried to strike up a conversation but I blanked the bitch.

..good for you Jonnii, she sounds like an awful teacher, someone who definitely wouldn't bring out anything good in anyone...

Yeah she was just horrible. You know when you can tell teachers apart from the ones who are their because they enjoy teaching and the ones who are their for the money but hate kids with a passion? She was the latter.

Conscientious, intelligent, works hard... don't think I ever had a bad comment, I just got on with my work and didn't give teachers any hassle, I liked being at school :)

..yeah I think that you're exactly right Jonnii..for some teaching is a vocation..(and quite a lot) and for others it's just a pay slip and no matter what their knowledge is on a subject, if they don't respect their students and that everyone has a different way of learning..then they are never going to convey that knowledge, which is what they are meant to be doing...it says a lot for you that you passed the exams in that subject regardless of how little respect she had for you...maybe something she could learn..?..

I always had great school reports because I worked really hard at everything... Except PE. I was terrified of PE... I was quite badly bullied and PE was like open season... the changing rooms... the showers... all awful. My PE teacher wrote on my last school report "I don't know the girl". Shameful really, because she allowed the bullying to go on. PE teachers as a group are mostly sadists in my experience... having failed at the competitive sports they teach. On the bright side, she's probably dead now.

:worship: Totally agree with you about PE. I don't know what it is about PE teachers but it seems to be a universal thing that if you weren't already good at the sports they taught then they didn't try to help you out whatsoever and just left you to be bullied relentlessly. I had one particular PE teacher who was an absolute ****, this Glaswegian arsehole who had clearly failed at becoming a pro rugby player so had settled for PE teaching and was more interested in trying to chat up this Maths teacher than anything else. Anyway, he made us do the "Bleep Test" on a regular basis (you know the one where you have to run from one end of the hall to the other before the bleep sounds and then there's a 'rest' after x number of runs but the bleeps get closer together and the breaks get shorter so if you're not fit then you're out fairly quickly) and every week he used to berate me for being unfit which of course just made me feel worse and it took all my will power to not burst into tears every week, used to dread going to school on PE day and would be a nervous wreck all morning until the weekly humiliation was over... Urgh

ive never had a bad report off even one subject

I agree to a certain extent about PE teachers, we had 3 different ones and the 2 were hateful, really vile and they'd only been teaching a few years.

The horrible ones were gym and rugby, I loathed gym. Still makes me feel nervous thinking about it now actually, the horse and the wall bars. Being quite a big guy and a bit "awkward" as most are back then I just used to hate it, I used to try and get days off or "forget" my kit. When you think back you try and think "oh it was just me being stupid" but it really was horrendous!

The other guy though had been there for 20-odd years and he was the soundest bloke ever. He didn't believe that PE should be a planned out "this is what we're going to do today" thing. He basically used to say "If you want to do badminton, get the nets out and play, if you want to play tennis, go up to the courts, if you want to play footie go to the field". As long as you were doing some sort of activity he was happy and people respected him a lot more than the other two, I guess it was a two way thing. I used to love PE with him, the others... no.

I'll defend PE teachers. I tended to have a good rappor with mine. Ours tended to be a bit more liberal (I was often allowed to play football with a pair of Rangers FC shorts) and most lessons we always seemed to have a laugh. No other subjects could ever match that for me unless it was a final class of the year or something.

Our PE teacher always wore disgustingly small Kappa shorts where you could make out the bottom of his ball bag.

I think every school has their own teachers with a certain character ie awkward PE teacher or one that's like the terminator, an alcoholic and that one random obviously single woman with cats who teaches music or cooking.

..although I wouldn't generalise with everyone obviously, I personally have never had a positive experience or a positive opinion of a PE teacher, either as a child or as an adult...

I think it's because, generally speaking, most PE teachers didn't set out to be PE teachers... whereas I think if you're like a geography teacher for example, you may not have set out to be a teacher but you obviously enjoyed learning geography and decided teaching would be a great way to pass that passion on... whereas I think most PE teachers are just wannabe sports stars who never made it. That was my experience of PE teachers at school and in the school I worked in in Germany, plus all the schools I've ever visited... they just don't come across as people who are passionate about teaching; they just want to play sports and play them with people who are as good at them as they are...
