Stash,Just discovered this thread.
Now I’m spellbound – you said you went to the appointment – so what did they say Don’t leave us hanging in curiosity!!
All of you who have the benefit of old report cards with “negative” comments – lucky you! That sounds awful but really you’re lucky to at least have comments. My mother kept most of my elementary school report cards and gave them to me years ago. When I dragged them out of their storage box thinking I would uncover a treasure trove of insight into my early years, I couldn’t believe what I discovered. There were perhaps 2 or 3 comments total for all those years if remember correctly. I think all they said was “could do better” or something equally useless. The check marks were mostly under Satisfactory. So I felt really ripped off. In hindsight they basically ignored me. I had a real hard time socially and was the one in class usually picked last etc. Yad think one teacher in 6 years would have noticed something wasn’t quite right! My kids had comments up the wazoo to make up for it though
