Had to reply to this.

1. In my school there is pressure on staff to do a copy and paste wordprocessed report rather than the traditional handwritten original and personal ones. This is because the "house style" is "wordprocessed". People do write worse reports by this method.
2. Ours are done using a mailmerge system, and sometimes a manager (head of department or year) writes the comment bank, and frankly, some of them have limited skills of self-expression...
3. If this is your biggest worry about your child's teacher, I wouldn't worry.
4. Handwritten reports often also include duplicate phrases.
5. If you come across the phrase " X has approached lessons in a relaxed manner with the emphasis on enjoying him/herself" then child X is being lazy and needs her/his pocket money stopped!

God bless your child, and wishing him/her every success.

DS3's first two school reports, the Headteacher referred to him as 'interesting' - and I knew exactly what she meant! :rotfl:

When I was younger, my parents had about 6 reports running including the word "eccentric". I think the teachers put "weird" into the thesaurus

LMFAO...you really don't have the foggiest what you're talking about, do you?

Let's forget, for a moment, that my gf will spend a good 2/3 of each holiday (whether one week or 6) catching up from the previous term and preparing for the next one and assume she actually has all of her holidays to herself...

One simple question...Do you actually know what teachers earn?

If you can make that figure into living PLUS 6 weeks in France and 2 weeks in Florida *peak season* each year, you must be a forking alchemist.

I think you ignored my previous sentence !!

I am fully aware of what my best friend earns as a deputy head in a primary school, and Ive a good idea how much her self employed dh earns ! I also know how much thier caravan cost them, hence 6 weeks in France every summer, and I know where they travel to in Florida at Easter as I see the pictures.

so No, Sorry, I am not a forking alchemist !!!

Holy thread revival, batman.

I read your previous post, just as I've read this one..I just don't see what you're getting at at all.. I assumed in your first post that you were complaining that teachers earnt too much and had too much holiday, but now you're saying that your "friend" is well on the upper pay scale, but takes (presumably cheaper) caravan holidays and has a wage from the OH coming in as well...I just don't know what you're expecting us to infer from your list of random facts.

I can't decide if there's actually a point you're trying to make, or whether you felt like sharing your friends' holiday habits and just happened to do so on a thread about teachers...

why on earth has this thread from july been dragged up?
