ON our new "specials" report cards" we have to used banked comments and
cannot even put the child's name in or change the comment in anyway. When I tried
to write my own I got complaints that I was making the reportcard print out
too many pages (the column for your own comments was only 1 inch wide). I did
not want to do any comments but my principal told me I had to do the "Your
Child blah blah blah..." comments....a stupid,pointless exercise that not one
parent has commented on the difference. However, many parents used to comment on
the postitive comments I was able to make about their students in the day (way
way back...<g>) when I could write my own very personal specific comments!
