Report Cards

My kids got report cards recently. Here are some of the highlights:
 

Child #1, teacher comments: "To say that [your child] and I share a love of reading is an understatement. His craving for the written word is immense. I appreciate that he gives his personal best, is a good role model and friend, and is always using his lifeskills. He is a wonderful addition to [our school], but especially our classroom." Child #1 had a nearly perfect report card.

Child #2 hasn't received a written report card yet, but from what my wife heard at the parent/teacher conference, she should be getting a near perfect report also. She struggled initially with the expectations of a higher quality school, but she seems to be doing really well now. I'm proud of her for working so hard even when it seems so difficult.

Child #3 had a perfect report card except for handwriting. Can't fault him for that; my handwriting is awful. Teacher comments: "[Your child] is a very hard worker who is smart and funny. ... [He] likes to learn new concepts and strives for perfection in math. ... Overall, [he] is a delight! He consistently gives his personal best throughout the day."

Well, this father's heart warmed right up when he read some of those comments. I love my kids and it's great to see them recognized and valued by others. And I'm so happy that they're doing well in school. Education is super important to me and I'm glad they're tasting success in that area of life.
