I have an adult child and two younger ones, in primary school... What i know (now) is reports are a complete waste of time and mean nothing, my 7 year olds is a bit below average but i told her it was fab. My adult daughter never had a great report, but she has grown to be the most well adjusted, educated lovely lady and she finished highschool 2 years before her peers! And had a Diploma! Now she has a degree.... dont worry too much (or at all) about school reports, i never worried to much about them (now i worry less) .... And Naplan? I give my kids the week off for Naplan!!! Naplan should be abolished.

I'm seriously confused. My 7 yr old got all "unsatisfactory" and "limited" and "below average" yet its all stuff that I know for a fact he can do, just for some reason , won't do it at school. They talk about "problems" he's having in class, but every afternoon when I ask how he's going I get "Oh he's been wonderful, no problems what so ever." Like a whole semester basically wasted because they can't say "oh he seems to be struggling here, here and here" and work with me to help him out. I'm fuming and hubby is taking over the interview because he knows I'll flip my lid

That’s disgusting. You and are your husband should absolutely flip your lid over that. I find some teachers have no people skills so they won’t talk to you if there’s a problem and that is sooo wrong.

I am seriously cranky about it. Hubby will flip his lid too, he just has a bit more control than I do when he does it lol. He's been talking to his sister about it (she's also a teacher) and arming himself with some info to take in to this teacher. See I wouldn't have thought of that, I would have just gone in and yelled a lot 😂

Satisfactory

My kids got As and Bs as expected. That’s great but I look more at the breakdown of consistently, sometimes, rarely etc. If they were to get a C but were consistently putting in their best effort then that’s ok with me.

C isn’t bad. We don’t work on the American grading system barely any children in Australia reach a consistent “A” level

My kids primary school don’t give out As. They say no one deserves an A. They give Cs if you are at the expected level and B if you’re above expected.

I haven't received my.childrens yet, but I won't be holding out hope, this year's teachers aren't the best, especially my daughters year 1 teacher, who told the children they are not allowed to yawn in class ! So I am hoping for the best but prepared for the worst lol.

When my daughter was in pre-primary/ year 1 the relief teacher screamed at them all that they are all going to jail. What a bitch.

In all honestly not as well as years before and I don’t blame them. This year we have been through a hell of a lot and are finally coming out the other side of domestic violence court hopefully being closed on this coming Thursday and then Family Court which we go back to in September. I just want them to be happy and settle and once all this is done they will be and things will return to the normal again

My super smart kid got an E in health. 80% in all assessments but because he didn’t hand in a poster they gave him an E. He actually did hand the poster in but the teacher couldn’t find it.

I was shocked at my sons report. His comments in one subject were all about another kid! An obvious copy and paste job. In another subject he got a B but comments were not great and said he is very inconsistent yet all the “ consistently’ boxes were ticked. Parent teacher interviews next week and I’ll be wanting explanations.

Ours don’t come out until later this week. I’m not expecting any surprises. I’m on good terms with my primary son’s teacher and feel confident she would have mentioned any problems before now. My high school kid is in honor’s classes and is doing well.

Ours come home this week. My hopes are low for grades, but I will not accept anything less than "is a polite and well mannered child". They might not be very academic, but my kids have been taught to have impeccable manners.
But, they're both alternative needs kids (ADHD) and the school just isn't set up to cater to that. We're looking into better fitted schools though.

I was very shocked with my youngest. I thought he would have received average mostly across all subjects (with the exception of music) but he totally aced almost all subjects. My older two didn’t surprise me, i knew they would be bringing home mostly As and Bs. I don’t know where they get their smarts from, it sure isn’t me or their father. I would have been happy if they just passed, I don’t put pressure on them to do well in school and when their teachers tell me of the areas they need improvement I just tell them what they need to do. What is important to me is the grade for their behaviour and the grade for their effort, if i see high or very high on their effort but that subject still got a C I’m a proud Mumma.
