School Reports

There was something on the radio today about famous people and their school reports, pointing out how wrong they can be...eg Eric Morcambe's teacher said on his report that 'this boy will never amount to anything'

One of mine said 'Angela manages to hide in class' I wasnt trying to hide but I was quite shy at school. Oh the angst of schooldays! What did it say on your school report?

Is your name actually Angela, or were you just that good?

I often had things along the lines of 'Has the ability, but doesn't apply himself properly'; which is as true now as it was then. They were basically calling me bright but lazy.

They said I was always in the dining hall.

Angel in name and nature Angelic

I've always found the potential in every pupil.

Sootyj is potentially the biggest c**t it's been my misfortune to teach.

Mine always said too quiet. Can't argue with that.

My sister's PE report simply said 'who is this girl?'
Skiving tinker.

Maybe the PE teacher was a Madonna fan who liked correct grammar.

A big lesbian Madonna grammarian who taught PE.

Our PE teacher was in fact the absolute cliché butch lesbian. Terrifying.
She was alright really though.

We mainly had nuns, no male teachers at all except the PE one. Terrifying for him

Aw.

I love nuns. Never actually met one though.
Oh, except one at a bus stop.

Mine said spelling and english atrocious.

I had (and still have of course) bad dyslexia. But who knew in the 60's and 70's.

Aren't you banned from going within 50 feet of a nun because you keep feeding them raw fish?
