End of term school report.

The big fuss about parents' evenings - anyone would have thought that it was the Queen and Prince Philip were coming to the school rather our parents visiting.

Box tickling?

We ticked the boxes, not tickled them.

That might get you detention!

Varied ... between what extremes?

Not bad to not good, I guess...

Mine were generally good, with dry little digs about my tendency to make everything into a joke (which I've long since grown out of, of course, lol!)

Staying behind to write "I must not tickle boxes" 100 times.

I know that Roger Hargreaves wrote a book about Mr Tickle (which had a teacher in the book, ironically enough), but Allan Ahlberg could have written one called Mr Tickle the Teacher...

I remember Mr Tickle: his long arm reached into the classroom and tickled the schoolmaster's ear. Nice.

Re: End of term school report.

I don't think we really had any at either of my Comps/Secondary or Primary - it was just sort of something read to Parents - nothing else

Thankfully though my 1st Secondary was a dive and the only Primary I did was top notch I am so glad I never lived in this Ofstead and Red Tape Burachrat time they do today (let alone for end of term reportsa) never mind other issues at shool/s and matters/things!!

Re: End of term school report.

I remember reading a school report that my sister had. For RE, the teacher referred to her as "lazy and disruptive" or something like that - I cannot imagine her being like that in class, even though due our different ages, we were never at school together.

Re: End of term school report.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but here goes....

The school report during my time at comprehensive school, came out twice a year. The first one came out at Christmas, the second around Whitsun IIRC.

Did you fear and dread the report? Or were not bothered?
Was your report always good? Did you ever have a bad report?

Did your parents ever write any comment on the return slip they had to sign?

Did you keep your reports, or were they thrown away shortly after?

Generally, my reports were on the good side until I reached the age of thirteen. Thereafter, some of the teachers comments were far less than satisfactory. I did have one really bad report in 1981. I will not go into it, but Kevin the Teenager would have been proud.

I had these at Primary, Marc - this idea of a "General Report" was the norm then but never in my Secondary Days ..... more-ever for me it would have been a case of "being on report (not given 1) for being a following Lamb that copied other lads and ended in the most trouble as the result!!
