Do your kids school reports dissapoint you?

I have always been happy with my children's reports. At the end of last year I felt a bit sad for my 8 year old because he felt his report was not good. He told me he was stupid. He didn't get high grades but he passed still. I know all year he did his best and that is all that matters. I explained to him that he is not stupid and he has done his best and thats what counts. I also told him his report was a good report. I just wish he wasn't so hard on himself.

I would never be disappointed by my kids school report cards ever. I would worry but I would not show that child or children my disappointment.

You were very lucky that the teacher reviewed his marks, I hope it cheared him up too! I think all mums have a moment of dread when the report comes. I'm always pleased when Bong gets a medium mark for a subject. He is good at reading, art, science, the rest of it - writing, numbers etc are all very strange to him, bless. As long as your son is happy and feelshe has tried his best you can do no more, after all we just want them to be happy really.

I am not a parent yet, I am still in school. Last year I came home with a D in Spanish simply because I was lazy and I hated the class. This also brought down all my other classes. But once I dropped that class they saw that all my other classes grades went up quite a bit. So they were only temporarily disappointed with me.

One time my son brought home his report card and his grade in Science was not really all that good. It was a passing grade but both of us knew he could have done much better. I then told him that I wasn't angry. I told him that if all he wanted to do throughout his school life was not to fail then he should just continue what he was doing. I then told him that if he wanted to see how good he was he would have to work for it. It worked. His grades have always been top notch ever since.

when i was a kid in my 1st class i topped in class, and one girl started crying as she didnt got the highest marks ...seeing this teacher of my taken my progress card and reduce few marks of mine to make me second,,,,i came home crying saying that what teacher did with me and my dad immediately reported it to the pricipal and everything got corrected and the teacher was warned of doing such practices dissappointing the meriotorious students.

My kids are not in school yet but I do have two step children who are and one is not with us anymore but the other is not having the best grades in school, he could do better but he doesn't want to, all he wants to do is play video games, I've stressed it over and over but his father doesnt seem to mind but I am disappointed in his grades.

My kids always do well at school. I'm always proud of them. I would be proud of them as long as they are trying their best.

I do not have kids yet but when i do and find myself in such a situation and their report is not good then i will just tell them to improve on it and work harder..

Yes my childrens report card disappoints me when I see that they failed in a subject or their grades are too low..I guess all parents feels this way because they want the best for their kids.

no they are good kids they always have good grades but when they come home with a bad grade its never been a mistake

no my kids are pretty god in school they usually get a's and sometimes b's but when they gt bad grades it was never a mistake

I don't have kids but i wouldn't want it if my parents get disappointed because of my grades. But school can be tough sometimes. Every kid does not want to disappoint their parents, so I think parents would e a little more considerate. For sure some kids are better than others on some stuffs. Sometimes parents even go overboard as if they never got low grades in school. Kids are not supposed to be like parents, unless they're who they want to be.

yah maybe if i'll gonna have a kid on my own and he/she have a grades like that i will be dissapointed to but its up to you if you'll help your kids to cope with it right? i mean go on and teach them give some extra effort and time to help them grow and ponder.

whateva they get iz now my fault... its if they wanna get bad grades and mess with theyre life.. LET THEM BE UR GUEST!

well i don't have kids. but i have a mom and what i can tell you is i never or rather i try never to disappoint her.

Yes I have been very disappointed in my children's grades in school. My soon to be 15y/o gave us fits in school from the 2nd grade too the 7th. He was always getting into trouble and very seldom made descent grades. After years of this, he finally got his act together and now is a A-B student. The reason it upset me so bad is because he had the knowledge to do much better, but refused too.

I think most of the children wont dissapoint you but if they do then you have to take care of them and tell them to consentrate more on studies rather than on internet and computer games nor television

i too have ababy with 3 yrs old but in general parents feel tensed even before seeing that report.

My son, currently in the second grade has always brought home straight A's, so there is nothing to be upset about there. He works hard and I have been told many times that he is very smart and works hard and sometimes helps the other children. He has no trouble bringing home good grades each and every time. In kindergarten and first grade his conduct was perfect, but this year he started talking in class. They do the 'color' conduct, green is perfect, orange, yellow, blue and red. green being best, red being worst. A few months ago he got orange for the first time for talking in class to his friend. And then each week after that he got it 1 time for the next 2 months. Not enough to bring his grades down, but I was concerned. Right away I asked him why he was talking, and he said the students needed help with their assignment. Later I found out that in each instance, he had talked to explain the assingment when the teacher was busy with another student. But, the teacher neglected to tell me that he was just helping. So, from now on when he gets orange for talking, I understand that it is due to helping another student, so I dont mind when he gets orange every now and then, as long as it is for a good reason.
