Comments on: Politically Correct Blandness in School Reports http://juicedonwriting.com/2060/politically-correct-blandness-in-school-reports/ I want to write. I want to make a living writing - fiction, and non-fiction. And I want to share all the writing resources I find. This is my writing blog. Simple as that.

My response was to turn my son's (long, bland, vague) report into a poem: http://verbatimpoetry.blogspot.com/2009/07/harry-has-uses.html My son 'kind of' won his race on Sports Day, only it wasn't really a race. I think his teacher has so many boxes to tick and standards to measure that she doesn't have time to notice the unique little individuals (all 30 of them). Tough job. Our kids are going to have comprehensively documented progress that means nothing at all. I agree.
