My son finishes school for the Summer holidays next week. Joyful Joyful, Hallaluejah, 8 weeks of having my darling 7 year old following my every move and demanding every second of my time!! Yipppeee, I can hardly wait!! Crack open the Champagne....oh sorry, thats reserved for September!
I know it's wrong to imply that you don't like being with your kids and to be honest that is not what I am saying...I just feel that as a Mummy it's important to have "Mummy Time" ! However, I love having a lie-in and no school run to do, I love when the sun is out and we meet friends in the park...I love watching my son climb trees and exploring....however, I also love my time to stop and smell the roses...On that note I think I shall take LF to Kew Gardens!
My son's school report was sent home last week and it was actually better than I had expected. However.....I think nowadays teachers are very generic with the reports and I fear that there is some "cut, copy & paste" going on. To be fair it must be a daunting task to sit and write about 20 children and how they have performed at school. I always like to read the report once quickly and then tounge-in-cheek. This way I truly understand what is being said..
For example...."LF has produced some good work".....but not a lot is what they really mean!!!!
"LF is capable of producing very good work"....I just wish he would is what she means!!
" LF should aim to listen more"...in otherwords LF should shut-up more!!
My favourite part of the School Report is the Teacher's Comment....I my-self never excelled at school and the words "could do better" were often mentioned. My son's report says" he shows considerable potential".....I think that means he "could do better" !!
