My one isn't there...every year my report said - ''could do better''....I could of too,but that wasn't the point of going to school was it?

[justsomeguy]

Some wise man once said - don't let school spoil your education.

[Ixion]

Mine always said "A satisfactory result, but could do better if he wished". And usually something along the lines of "Needs to be more respectful of authority"

Never did learn that lesson

[Drew]

Mine said "a friendly, yet solitary child, who sometimes needs encouragment."

[Waylander]

Mine were always brutaly honest about me. Cocky and a pain in the ass, despises authority and will refuse to listen on principle. Still somewhat true to this day.

Ah, all of mine fall under the "Gets good enough marks without doing any work in class, but could ace everything if he tried" category. NCEA is a joke, it requires absolutely no work whatsoever.

Marvellous.
