This was her first term and she probably didn’t know of the report forms. I, of course, said nothing at home.
Then the report came …..I held my breath. Need not have worried. The boxes hadn’t been filled in – any of them – a slip of the pen? As for comments, she wrote with masterly understatement. ‘As for his conduct, I have no worries.. Of course, I have very occasionally reprimanded him, but he responds positively, and takes any disciplinary measures in his stride’. Thank you! These words still are burned in my memory!
