So I am at my parents' home right now cleaning out boxes of stuff to prepare for my move to California. I came across some elementary school report cards. There was this section in the back for teacher and parent comments. An excerpt from third grade that made me laugh out loud:
First Quarter
Teacher: F is doing excellent work in the third grade.
Dad: Thank you very much for teaching F. English is F's weakness since it is her second language. Is it possible for you to give her more homework to practise? She is learning long division with two-digits divisor.
Second Quarter
Teacher: F bubbles over with enthusiasm. She performs well in everything.
Dad: Thank you. I still believe she needs more homework.
Haha. In my father's defense, I really did have poor English skills in early elementary school. He was probably used to the extra attention that my second grade teacher gave me. She worked extra hours with me and with my dad to help me catch up in reading skills. Thanks to her, I was able to go from knowing only parts of the alphabet to reading at the third grade level in a year. Good teachers are so valuable.
