You probably don't see too many homeschoolers using these.



how to write a personal comment





how to make a parent go ballistic

Send her an Interim Report filled with the same 3 negative Personal Comments from 7 different teachers on Christmas Eve.



teachers talk about comment banks

yes, it's the Paperless Teacher

I know a good way to save paper.

Punch in your Chosen Canned Comments, hit Save, and then don't print the thing out and don't put it in the mail to the parent.



and see:

Teacher Comments on Report Cards by Amy Brualdi

Ms. Brualdi says teachers must be sensitive to the fact that students will be reading their comments.

In our case, we agreed not to show Christopher the comments.

Then he saw the Report on my desk.

I have GOT to get organized.



I wonder how much I'm spending on Personal Comment Bank software for our district?

Just out of curiosity.

I'm certainly glad to be saving our teachers' some time in their busy day!







update

This box from the website for Report Maker is hilarious:

Does this mean there are teachers in the U.K. using Comments Banks surreptitiously?

Without their employers' (or parents?) knowledge?

Ed & I didn't know the report card Comments were pre-fab until this fall, and we've been getting them for years.

I must say, the comments in the Comments Banks I came across for British teachers were much nicer, & far more detailed. There are 1000s of them. Our district has a list of 35 Comments teachers select from, and the Vice Principal said studies show that of those teachers typically use the same 5 over and over again.

That makes Christopher's negative Canned Comments REALLY bad.
