Report Card Comments

Check out the new Kindle for great ideas!

Teachers work hard and spend many of their own hours creating fun and exciting lessons. I recently located a site where teachers pay teachers. There are a number of free lessons as well. Sign up for free.

I hope all will find the humor in the parent teacher commentary on Youtube. I am being honest when I share with you that this is the exception and not the norm - at least from my perspective. I have been truly fortunate to have had very supportive and caring parents. I do believe that a lot stems from the teacher conveying how much they are on the side of the child. I have been able to speak to parents from the vantage point of also being on the other side of the table as a parent myself. I am very candid about my experiences walking in both roles. I believe that it helps parents to know they are not being judged but they are being supported.

I will continue to add to the list of comments and would love to hear from other teachers who also have some comments they would like to share that will be helpful to all of us in the profession.

Report Card Comments

As teachers we struggle to write report card comments that fit our students, their personalities and their strengths and weaknesses in a positive but honest fashion. I deleted parts of several comments in order not to be redundant within the hub.

I have put together some of my comments that may be of help to other teachers.
