What did your school reports say about you?

Up until the last couple of years at high school mine were always positive, really good reports with the cliched phrases thrown in, I can only remember a couple of the phrases atm..

'Hardworking but easily distracted'
'Works well with others'

And one I wont forget.. 'Talented with confidence' and when I asked my mum what it mean she laughed and said "stop being cocky at school"

[Suze]

Mine weren't good, but then I was hardly ever there, always playing truant but hey, I went on courses after leaving school, did ten times better with that than I ever did in school, some of those teachers were awful, and even passed some exams since.

I was once called a girl in one of them lmao

But they mostly said that I tried hard and was just a really nice student, towards year 11, they changed slightly, saying that I became a lot more talkative and outgoing, which was sometimes annoying apparently, but they all still said that I was a good student, they were just annoyed that I never applied to be head boy etc. But I had a lot of family stuff going on during the final 2 years, so I didn't want any more pressure.

I found my Year 7 report book a few months back and I really, REALLY wish I had just listened to what pretty much every single teacher told me. 'Determined to do well, but make your work neater and revise more and you can do it' more or less.

It's my biggest regret that I was never proud of my work. My handwriting is basically chicken scratch, but if I had, had help when I was younger, maybe I had done well. I never even gave my work titles or anything like that, I just didn't know. I didn't think it was that important.

All the teachers said I was lovely though. So I guess every little helps

There were only grades on my report card, no summaries.

Good grade but I was lazy at school

[Crimson Dynamo]

"flippant

easily dist

cheeky"

has talent if he applied himself

then in English, Geography and History:

"Excellent and hardworking, joy to teach, bright and works well with others"

One of the best I had was "if as much time was spent actually doing work as coming with excuses not too, Anne would probably excel"

[Kyle]

"Dropped on head at birth, please try to be more careful handling future children"

[Gstar]

They were probably all bad behaviour wise; primary and secondary apart from year 3, 10 and 11 (my year 3 teacher was nice but always ill or pregnant so we had millions of supply teachers)

They all said that my work was good and that I worked hard which was the most important thing. My behaviour got worse in secondary school, I was in some organisation (within the school) which was basically for the naughty/troubled students, I almost got kicked out for good in year nine. With all this mess going on I still produced great work and was one of the smarter students in my year, I was really good at drama and also had a dance scholarship at the time (I think that probably saved me from being expelled)

I wasn't one of those attention seeking kids who no one liked and got in trouble for the sake of it, my problem was with the teachers about 90% of the time because I found so many of them horrible and incapable of doing their job. Friends wise I was alright, my year was very divided and had about 8 different groups, I managed to be cool with most as I was never part of the petty drama and i'm generally a friendly person.

Went off topic a bit there from year 10 my reports changed drastically (in a positive way) and it got better and better, mind you I wasn't perfect and there were still teachers who tried to bring me down but I managed to ignore it just out of maturity

I managed to (almost) do a complete U-turn in terms of behaviour but I had no trouble in the academic work department. I think that school reports tell a lot about yourself and how you work/cope in certain environments, some of the things I can still learn from today

I got that all the time too.

Each year I would get literally identical comments from each of my subject teachers so they were clearly all copied and pasted from a set list given to them.

[Natalie.]

Shy, works hard, well behaved

[Raph]

Exceptional, hard-working, top student

All stuff like that really, my report card got commendations every time too as I was always in the top 5% of my year. What can I say haha I miss them high school days!

Not that i remember. Maybe in the grade school level, but tbh i have never even heard of comments in a report card/school report, usually it only contains just the subjects and the grades. Maybe a participation certificate or something too.

If there were comments to be made, i think they came from the teachers themselves.

[smudgie]

Mostly good..apart from Domestic science.
The teacher said I was too heavy handed to ever make pastries etc.
Made a good living out of catering so she got that wrong

All went downhill when I went to state school in this country, teachers were crap and I bunked off until the police took me back and I was asked politely not to go back.

[Daniel-X]

Mine whet varied from different subjects I remember one saying 'Lucia is a student who works well in class but needs to participate more' and one saying 'Lucia's attitude needs to be much better next year for her to make basic progress. She will need to stop talking in class and work a lot harder next year for her to catch up with what she's missed due to idle chat.'

If anybody had behaviour for learning in their school basically there was a number on 1-9 on how your he about was 1 was like an angel student and 9 was basically spawn of the devil. Mine ranged from 1 to 8

[Lostie!]

My school reports were usually really good, always mentioned how I was hard-working and a joy to teach. School Report day was always a smug day for me.

Although, once one of my Art teachers referred to me by the name of a classmate, so I think that particular one wasn't about me.

I remember my Geography teacher saying that I daydream during class at one Parents' Evening, though.

[Daniel.]

That I was too talkative and rude but I got good grades so I don't care

[LukeB]

Icr because cba to get them but most of them say I was a kind and polite student who always works hard to achieve his target grades.

[LaLaLand]

Enthusiastic but very talkative. Always. Then some would say cheeky but whatev I'm not sitting in silence for an hour.
