If you have such a meeting with your child's teacher coming up, you may want to study my parent-teacher conference thesaurus where you can cross-reference what the teacher says and what the teacher means.
- "He / she is great at science!" = Can't read, can't add.
- "He / she is very active!" = 1)Please stop feeding him / her sugar coated chocolatey sprinkle flakes before school. 2)Please medicate your child.
- "I'd like to see him / her become more of an independent worker." = Your kid follows me around all day like a hungry abandoned puppy.
- "He / she is a sensitive child." = Crybaby.
I remember those codes when I taught. Too bad teachers can't just say what they mean. :-)
