Reception
Abigail is a lively, curious child with a real zest for life. It has been a pleasure to teach her this year, although she does need to learn to sit on her bottom and listen to instructions.
Year 2
Abigail is a capable, intelligent girl whose progress has, sadly, been impeded this year by her tendency to spend too much time staring into space and too little focussing on the task in hand.
Year 6
Unfortunately, this year Abigail has become rather sullen and argumentative in class and under-performed significantly in her Key Stage 2 SATS which is a pity, as I feel she has a great deal of potential. Hopefully, the move to secondary school will bring about a change for the better.
Year 9
Abigail who? Persistent absentee. Disruptive on the rare occasions she bothers to turn up.
Home-Schooled Poet Wins Major Prize
Abigail Partridge’s learning difficulties went undiagnosed for years and were often dismissed as bad behaviour. In desperation, her parents took matters into their own hands. Now, this talented and inspirational young woman has the world at her feet.
I read this one with a real sense of recognition! We have a daughter like this!
ReplyDeleteTeachers, eh? What a bunch of ..... (Lovely story Alison.)
ReplyDeleteLovely job! I keep saying to my partner that the education system needs a level of reform that none of the parties are promising or have even thought about... It's changed very little in real substance since the Victorian era! :(
