I had to laugh this morning when I found one of my old school reports hiding in the back of a cupboard. Here's what my fantastic English teacher had to say:
“Allison’s strength lies in her oral work where she excels. If she can now discipline her written work to the same extent, she could become a first-class student of English. There is still much to do in the area of sentence- construction to make the best of her fertile imagination. She enjoys all aspects of Literature and is a girl with considerable potential.”
I can just picture my poor CP's nodding their heads at this. I still suffer from the same problems.
My less than perfect sentence-construction has been a thorn in my side since before this report and if I'm honest it's what stopped me writing for many years. But it occurred to me how much my English has improved since I wrote my first manuscript four years ago.
Mr Wright would be proud.
Is there anything In your school reports that hasn't changed?

One of mine said, 'Helen is a mine of useless information'
I believe my kindergarten teacher wrote that I had trouble following directions. :) I still seem to have that trouble.
