am REALLY shit with all this school stuff. and i know i need not to be. i am just not one of these parents that seems to instinctively "know" whats going on at school etc. i have been pretty laid back about it all until now, as long as he's happy, his teachers are happy with him, then i'm happy. i am the parent who forgets pe kits, who loses homework, who chucks away half the shit really important letters in book bags, who forgets book bags often sometimes, who loses library books, who has no real idea what they are doing at school really . basically i really need to sort it next term.
anyway, they have recently done sats. i missed parents evening because we were on holiday. yes in term time so had like a 1 minute meeting with his teacher. she told me he is "doing REALLY well" and really was glowing about him in his report. which sounds great but tbh i think they just talk positive about everyone these days. and then i read his report properly when i got home there are all these levels that just don't make sense to me
there are levels 2, 3 and 4. but then at level 2 there are 2a, 2b, and 2c
he is mainly at level 2 with some 2a's and 2b's but has a couple of 3's.
please can someone tell me in simple terms if he is really doing OK? just be honest. am under no illusions my lads a genius, neither me or his dad were anything great academically so i won't be offended :o
but i do want to know if maybe i should be pushing him more at home, and try harder to be better at this school stuff as i really dont think i am and tbh got no excuse for it :( plus got another one going into full time next term as well.
sorry for long post did not intend for it to be so epic but writing it all down made me realise exactly how shit i have been in the last 3 years!
