I have just read the loveliest personal comment on DS's report! [Proud Mum moment]

[Milliways]

DS is 12 (Yr 8) and had a lot of this year off sick with a back problem.

He always works hard and, like most kids, finds some subjects easier than others, so we had the usual mix of "well done","Good effort", "needs to learn how to revise more", "Tries hard" etc etc but his Maths Teacher wrote:

"Milliboy has made excellant progress this year, even though he spent much of it in considerable pain. His enthusiasm never waned; he is amazing." SAT level 8b, Exam 77%

Bought a tear to my eye

It brought a tear to my eye and I've even met him! Be justifiably proud of him and of yourself.

Well done to Milliboy

[Milliways]

What a brave and diligent lad.
Well done to him.
You must be very proud.

[Hulababy]

What a lovely thing to have on his report.

[Buda]

How lovely. He sounds fab.

And how lovely of the teacher to single out his determination.

[christywhisty]

Thats really sweet

[edam]

Oh, he sounds grand and his maths teacher sounds like a good egg too.

[Milliways]

He is lucky to have a good set of teachers who were very supportive throughout his illness.

Well done Milliboy- and you give yourself a pat on the back too Milli for bringing up such a lovely young man.
