School report

Attached below is a sample of the modern day school report.

Basically every subject is broken up into achievement and effort, and everyone gets the same coarse grading level unless there is at least two standard deviations from the center of the Bell curve.

Together with the cut and paste commentary and accompanying parent teacher interview, I learned nothing.

It strikes me that the modern school report is protecting three separate parties:

1. The kids and their self esteem
2. The parents and their self esteem
3. The school from parents and their warranty claims
