school gave results to someone else

Before worrying about this, maybe you could return to school and do a basic literacy course? Your punctuation and grammar leaves a lot to be desired!

As does your attitude, Jessikita, as does your attitude.

Should that be 'leaves', or should it be 'leave'?

Hmmm?

I don't know why people like you bother to comment on a thread, when it's only to have a pop at the OP on their spelling, language or grammar, and has nothing to do with the help the OP needs.

Surely you have better things to do with your time?!

Nice one, shellsuit. :T

However, nahidaakhtar isn't the only one to incur the wrath of Jessikita:

Please could you re-type this, with some spelling, punctuation and grammar so I can actually read it?

and from someone who said this below (albeit last year):

Take no notice of the horrible replies/posts. I have been on here about a month and am shocked by the nastiness/sarcasm/negativity and self importance of some of the posters. Just no need for it in most instances!

So, Jessikita - when did you decide to join the ranks of those posters who you say are nasty/sarcastic/negative then and try to make someone feel small about their grammar and punctuation?

And there was no need for it in this instance.

I hope nahidaakhtar doesn't take offence at this, I thought she did come across as a bit of a drama queen at first, but she's had the good grace to take on board what other posters have said and has come round to realising she was maybe a tad over-the-top in her reaction.
Her concern and worry for her child comes across loud and clear - and she didn't deserve the nasty swide-swipe from Jessikita.

Or maybe I've just got out of the bed on the wrong side. :rotfl:

No you didn't.

I'm on the fence as to whether Jessikita is actually a 'unique' poster or not but whether she is or whether she's not, her comments were unfair and if more posters pulled others up on their unfairness or nastiness, less people would bother to post in such a way. Imo.

its not about the age or exam level.

Its the fact that they are giving personal information about my child to someone else.

I dont even know whether my child has achieved the level required.

If my child has had problems and has to remain at foundation level this is information that is between me and the school

After a couple of glasses of wine last night I thought "oh for heaven's sake - have you nothing more serious to worry about?". But I didn't post - because I prefer not to post in vino veritas .

Today - on a wet Sunday morning, I think "for heaven's sake - get a life - this is just so petty - it is not life-threatening to your daughter/yourselves - a mistake has been made by the school". You've notified them of the mistake, they have apologised and it will be rectified.

What else do you expect - compensation??

I just worry about the amount of ill-energy you have generated fretting about this.

An important thing to remember in life - don't pet the sweaty stuff and don't sweat the petty stuff!

thorsoak.....the OP moved on ages ago and accepted she had overreacted. You're preaching to the converted.

thorsoak

Whoops!!!! She got the message before receiving the benefit of my wisdom????

Besides which the OP thought that if her child's results were low they would be kept behind a year in school which is a really big deal and if everyone else knows their child's results and are talking about it it's understandable that she is desperate to know.

Lol...I'm afraid so.

Never mind, another similar thread will be along soon. It might even be one of mine. :rotfl:

I know this has been done and dusted, but I've been thinking about it.

Isn't it better that a child be kept back in their first year if needed?
Maybe they just aren't mature enough, it's a young age and kids can vary widely in their first year at school.

I can imagine the parents might assume there is a stigma attached to being kept back, but if it is better for the child, they should deal with it.

That's a valid point, Lotus Eater.

Especially when you consider that there may be almost a full year development difference between a child born in September and one born in August the following year but in the same class.

My DS will be the youngest when he starts school. If I could, I would push him over to the following year.
I know I was always the youngest and suffered for it, I think.

But not only age, kids mature at different rates and it makes a big difference if they have older siblings.

Placing kids by age is easy, but not really the best way to do it IMO.
