Well, here I am, supposed to be writing reports on the children in my class, and instead I'm posting on here and catching up with all the news. It's amazing what you do to put off the inevitable! I've been food shopping, cut the grass, washed the car, I've EVEN resorted to housework, just to put off the evil moment of actually having to start. The really stupid thing is - once I've started, it'll be ok, just as it always is every year. Go on - make me do them!!!

Will that do?
Get writing! What am I doing! Now you'll read this and that will be another 2 mins. gone.
I handed my marked scripts in on Friday. There, that's better, it'll make you jealous at least. Mine's done.
And here's a candle lit for those who must sit in unwilling judgement.
Oooooh stickless, now that's really scary. I shall type at the speed of light.
Mercury.....as if we would!!! I try to make each report personal to that child, especially as I have some sisters/brothers of children I've taught before ;-)
You're right mercury. When I was at school I got a personalised report because each teacher wrote 2/3 lines. Now it's comment on progress, homework, equipment, attitude, oral contributions, targets etc. so they become very samey.
If a particular phrase describes two students well though, then why not? Why bother thinking up five different ways to say the same thing when one does the job?
